136.4 grams. IAB complex. Also known as Ziz.

Andreas writes:
One side has a plain ablation surface from the flight through the atmosphere. The other side is torn and is in a very fragile way due its fragmentation by the strong forces during its flight; the break along the structure of this coarse octahedrite can be clearly seen.

An additional feature is the natural hole.
