TKW 5360 kg. Fall not observed. Found 1784 in Bahia, Brazil.

Anne writes:
A Bendego that is all iron, no shale. Enormous and very weathered mass, over 5 tons, of iron found in 1784 in Bahia, northern Brazil, and transported with great difficulty to the Museum of Natural History in Rio de Janeiro, where it still is.
