     The Jilin Meteorite fell on March 8, 1976 in China.
 It weighed around 4 tons with the largest individual
 weighing 1770 kg. This H4 stone ordinary chondrite
 is the largest stony meteorite on earth.

Thanks Bill and others who responded privately. So Jilin is an H5. Maybe
someone could also add the largest Carbonaceous Chondrite and it's
properties?

Thanks,
George Nicula
