[meteorite-list] Meteorite Question

[Michael Murray]

Hi Pete, List,
Good question.  I don't have your answer but have been pondering on  
the main mass thing myself.  When I see the words "main mass"  
mentioned, I conjure up a mental image of the biggest piece of  
meteorite recovered from the strewn field of a known fall.    
Otherwise, if you simply find a piece of meteorite, whether whole  
individual or not, you quite possibly will never know if it is the  
biggest piece from that fall or not.  I hope that is close to being  
correct.
