Since the List is very quiet today, here is a question a friend of mine sent to me:
---------------
but I'm curious, what do you know about the ("fabled"?) Greensburg, KS, meteorite, supposedly a pallasite? I see (from the internet) that the town claims this as the "world's largest pallasite" (they usually mis-spell it pallisite), though reliable sources rather say that Esquiel, Argentina (owned by Robert Haag) has that honor.
I've always heard that the KS meteorite(?) weighed ~1000lb while Esquel weighed ~1500kg (1500kg is much more than 1000lb). That's about all I know.
Clear skies,
Jonathan
