I believe the claim for Clarendon is second largest individual stony meteorite main mass for US. Nice pictures of a sample of this 'new' chondrite. |

According to the Met. Bulletin, there is also: Etter - 450kg, Long Island - 564kg, Plainview - 700kg, in addition to Paragould - 408kg and Norton Co. - 1.1ton. And Hugoton is not far behind at 350kg. So, no, certainly not the 2nd largest for the US. |

Thank you Suzanne! At least, the 20th Century fall Paragould, Arkansas and of course, Norton County, Kansas have heavier main mass stones! But as Bernd commented this is in a remarkable state of preservation |

Nice shallow thumbprints and dark-looking crust. Amazing after having been exposed to the elements for such a long time! |
