main mass my ass...

to me the main mass of a particular meteorite fall/find is the biggest piece or meteorite that landed on earth that fateful day (whether it is still buried or not)...and until we can know for sure it has been found or not, a given fall's/find's main mass remains unknown...true main masses in collections are few and far between IMHO.

main mass my ass(MMMA)...an over used word in this business.
