Hi Roman,
       People who should know put it at ABOUT 150 to 175 kg.
I sold "the main mass" of 73kg at my auction at the Tucson show
and personally have a 1,300g specimen in my own collection and
one over 500g I am prepping for sale. These were picked by me
from several dozen kilos, so, you can be SURE the 75.3kg figure
is definitely off. However, it may be off only by the above 73kgs.
       Best wishes, Michael

Hello all, does any one know what the total known weight for Taza is?
The Meteoritical Society posts 75.3 kg in bulletin #86.
 
Also, I'm sure I saw Taza's at the 2001 Tucson show, and
most dealers mention the find date of 2000, yet the bulletin
states 2001.
 
I just need to verify this info before I make a few hundred labels.
 
Thanks for any input.
