7.77 kg.   L~6

TKW 7.83 kg. Fall not observed. Found 2012.

DCOM writes:
This is a distinctive individual with the shape of a convex heptahedron. Pieces of this size usually break apart along their planar shock fractures and are rounded. Furthermore, they usually lack thumbprints. This specimen, on the other hand, shows polygonal surfaces, numerous flat regmaglypts and a fresh, slightly oxidized black crust. A pronounced heavyweight, only ~ 4% of the L6 chondrites found in Northwest Africa are heavyer.
