They said the one over Russia was in the neighborhood of 10 tons.
That's a big chunk of rock !

The meteor was also substantially more massive than thought as well. Initial estimated pegged the space rock's mass at about 7,000 tons. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., now say the meteor weighed about 10,000 tons and was travelling 40,000 mph (64,373 km/h) when it exploded.

I've been a meteorite collector for 5 years now and have quite
the collection. I have a piece of the Moon, Mars and possibly Mercury
all that came from Adam Hupe.
Just Google Adam Hupe or
Northwest Africa 1195 (NWA Africa 1195), Northwest Africa 5406 (NWA Africa 5406)
and you will see
2 fantastic very rare Meteorites that I have featured at the NASA/JPL
website, Smithsonian Institute Museum etc...
My Meteorite collection includes but not
limited to
Meteorite Campo del Cielo - CDC-267 (iron/nickel core)
NWA 2999 Ultra-Rare/Unique Angrite Mercury Meteorite
The Case For Samples From Mercury
NWA 1195 RARE Mars/Martian Shergottite Meteorite
(This is the ultimate type specimen for this new exclusive group with only two members since it was the first of its kind found. One only has to type "NWA 1195" into an Internet search to see this is a well-known and publicly featured meteorite. It has been featured several times in the news including NBC, the National Geographic Channel and CNN. Several articles have been written and can be found online including the NASA/JPL web site)
NWA Meteorite From Morocco
NWA 791 Meteorite
Nantan Meteorite
CAMPO DEL CIEL Etched Meteorite Slab
Iron Meteorite SIKHOTE-ALIN from Eastern Russia
------------------
Mars Meteorite ALH 84001 ~ (not in my collection yet)
In 1996, scientists concluded that there is ancient martian life in this meteorite. Not living but in fossilized form and in chemical remains. They have found single celled organisms.
4 Vesta Asteroid - very interesting read at
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=asteroid-vesta-has-planet-like-features
this is one I will have a piece of in the next 3 weeks.
Iron/Nickel meteorites known to science, formed during the formation of the Solar System some 4.5 billion years ago. They are certain to have originated from the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, representing the debris from the formation of the rocky planets. Disrupted by the gravitational pulls of the Sun and Jupiter, asteroids would often collide sending debris on an eventual collision course with Earth.
