Hi Al
According to 5th Ed Catalogue of Meteorites the Esquel Pallasite main mass
did weigh 1500 kg but that is a mistake. It actually weighed closer to 1500 lb.
or about 680 kg. In fact there is a reference I mention in A to Z from
Meteoritics and Planetary Sciences supporting this weight:

This is quite an interesting article that everyone might want to read as well.
