I checked in several of the catalogs I have and found the following listing in Arizona State University's Catalog of Meteorites p. 99:
Harrisonville, Cass County, Missouri, U.S.A. Stone, Olivene-hypersthene chondrite, L6 Found 1933 Total Known Weight: 12.9kg. Specimens: #176f 156.4grams #176.20 6,779grams #176.24 6,947grams #176s 1,539grams polished thin section
This total up to 15,421.4g which is quite a bit more that the listed TKW. Either the TKW is wrong, or ASU misweighed one or more specimens. Keep in mind, that this catalog of ASU's was published in 1885 and they might not be in possession of all of the listed specimens.
Best, JKG

My second question is in regards to the Harrisonville, Missouri L6 chondrite. I believe it was found as 14 separate specimens weighing in at 12.9 Kilos. I was wondering what the largest specimen weighs. I acquired the 801 gram specimen from Bob and was wondering main mass status? If this is not the main mass I may make it available to another well known and respected List member who expressed an interest in it.
