Tim, sorry to make it not clear , As others already mentioned 20g is the maximum, so logical the border where 20% and not 20g are asked is at 100g. Cutlost is the problem of the owner.

If a meteorite were found that, say , was 1.2 grams, unpaired with anything else, then the sample must needs be .24 grams, if I've figured right. This is a very significant portion of the meteorite. Then on the other hand should one be found that was 1 ton, the sample would be 400 pounds. If a classification can be done with .24 gram, why can't it be done with a much smaller piece of the 1 ton meteorite? Just learning here, please bear with me.
