Hi Pete, List,
Good question. I don't have your answer but have been pondering on
the main mass thing myself. When I see the words "main mass"
mentioned, I conjure up a mental image of the biggest piece of
meteorite recovered from the strewn field of a known fall.
Otherwise, if you simply find a piece of meteorite, whether whole
individual or not, you quite possibly will never know if it is the
biggest piece from that fall or not. I hope that is close to being
correct.
