[meteorite-list] Named masses

[Frank Cressy]

Hi Jeff,

One that easily comes to mind is the "Ring" or "Basket" iron of Canyon Diablo.  
Mass weighs 49 pounds.

Cheers,

Frank

Subject: [meteorite-list] Named masses

All,

I'm compiling a list of all meteorites that have named masses.  The two 
well-known examples are Cape York and Campo del Cielo, which each have many 
large pieces that are known by informal names, e.g., Ahnighito (CY) and El Patio 
(CdC).

How many others can people come up with?  This is a crowdsourcing exercise for 
the MetBull database, where I'd like to keep track of such names.  I already 
have a long list of synonyms, but most of these are not the names of masses; 
they are alternate names and spellings for the meteorite itself  (if you'd like 
to scan them to see if you can spot any mass names, here is the long list: 
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/MetBullSynonyms.php).

What I need are:

Meteorite name; mass name; weight; source of information; optional descriptive 
text

Thanks to all who can help!

Jeff

p.s. I think I have most of the CdC and CY names already compiled.
