Greg wondered:
"I wonder what the smallest largest main mass of a meteorite type is"
It's probably Hadley Rille (EH):
"An object in the 1-2 mm size fraction of soil sample 15602,29 was recovered
by Apollo 15 astronauts at Station 9, near Hadley Rille; the original mass,
estimated from the thin section, was ~3 mg."
Vilna (L5): Two small crusted fragments, 48 mg + 94 mg respectively, were
recovered from snow on a small lake 15 km NE. of Vilna, after a bright bolide
had been seen.
Best wishes from
thunderous Germany,
Bernd
