The 60 heaviest meteorite finds

Most meteorites in collections were never seen to fall: they were picked up later and are called finds. These are the 60 heaviest finds with a complete record in NASA’s Meteorite Landings dataset (records to 2013). Irons account for 49 of them, and 8 outweigh Sikhote-Alin, the heaviest observed fall (23 tonnes).

Each dot is one of the 60 finds; bigger dots carry more recovered mass.
