Hi all, Dr. Gibson's stone weighed 1.5 kg. That what his article in Meteoritics says. (v. 5, no. 1, 1970, "Discovery of another Meteorite Specimen from the 1912 Holbrook, Arizona Fall Site"). Still beat you Larry, but not by much ;-)

I just donated a few small specimens to Dr. Everett K. Gibson (and NASA) for some spectacular work they're in the midst of. Some of you many not be aware that Dr. Everett K. Gibson is one of Carleton Moore's graduate students and (as far as I know) has the record for the second largest Holbrook find in the last 50 years - 3.5 kilos. Larry (Lucky Dog) Atkins has the largest! Keep up the great work! -- http://www.MrMeteorite.com Ruben Garcia urrently work at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
