Thanks.
According to Dr. Ehlmann the largest single Dimmitt was 8.9 kg, followed by 3.74kg, 3.46kg, and 2.35kg. These were the pieces cataloged by the Glenn Huss. I have a 6.7kg stone that may turn out to be a Dimmitt, sold by Monning to a collector in the 50's. We will see.

Hi Matt and List,

Grady's COM lists the following large masses or quantities in collections -

TCU - 130kg

University of California - 6.644kg

University of New Mexico - 2.71kg

Max Planck Inst - 11.3kg

I'm not sure which of those are single masses and which represent a
total of pieces.

BTW - I agree about Dimmitt. It's one of the most interesting Texas
meteorites (that is commonly seen).

Best regards,

MikeG
