Michael,

You indicate here that the Bensour main mass is 9.2 kg, but that it is
broken into three pieces. Which of the three pieces is the main mass, and
how big is it?

Truly a spectacular meteorite, by the way!

It should be the largest remaining piece of a known meteorite, certainly not
a complicated issue.
