karlfarris Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ok, call me stupid (and many do), but what the hell is a "main mass" meteorite, and why is it not just a meteorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It would be the largest one found in the strewn field, thus the "main mass" of the event (so far...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garimpo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mike if only a large one, 123 lbs is found but no others is it still considered a main mass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikestang Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Mike if only a large one, 123 lbs is found but no others is it still considered a main mass?Yes, even if it's a small, solitary find it would still be the "main mass".
