".......but Esquel when found was 1500 kg making it....."
 
Hi Matt and list,
This is a mistake of the original discoverer (Lorenzo O. Giacomelli). He "estimated" the weight, but really never he weighed it. When I re-found the Esquel in 1989, after remain lost during 38 years, I check the measures informed by Giacomelli and were OK, but the weight was 755kg. I personally weighed this pallasite.
