[meteorite-list] The World's Second Largest Meteorite

Wed Sep 14 00:41:55 EDT 2016

There may well have been a measurable depression of some sort in the Earth.  Have you see the story of the circumstances of the find?  I haven't, but I believe the find was in part inspired by the activities of Bill Cassidy's project to map a Campo "crater field" over the last several decades.

That had to have made a helluva thump when it hit.....Surprised it didn't make a deeper hole...or a crater.

 Hi List, 

 All sells of big iron meteorites of 28,000 kilos and over are now 
 suspended! 

 Ya I know, I don't like that cute joke anymore either but had to 
 "weigh" in.

Hi, 

My reading of the article, albeit through Google translate, talks 

about El 

Chaco being reweighed and its weight being reported at  28,840 

kilos. The 

newly discovered meteorite weighs 30,800 kilos. 

Thanks, 

Peter

This article, with some great photos, lists it at 4th with 30,800kg 

as the 

official measure. 

Weighing the big ones like this and compairing them to others has 

always 

been confusing it seems. 

2nd or 4th is kkind of irrelevant in my book.  Still amazing...

Just a journalistic failure to fact check...  The original El 

Chaco is 

said to be 37.4 MT (37,400 kg).  They need to weigh this "Gancedo" 

more 

accurately perhaps, but it is over 14,500 pounds more to get from 

the 

Gancedo 30.8 MT to the El Chaco 37.4 MT:

I have seen this in the news a few times today. Amazing find but 

I'm 

confused. 

This new find is 34 tons. 

El Chaco weighs in at 37 tons and Hoba has them beat at 66. 

I missing a metric conversion in reference to El Chaco?
