| Red Dry Lake 064, according to the Meteoritical Bulletin, consisted of a single 6 gram stone. Per the bulletin, that entire stone was donated for analysis. It is classified as an H5, S2, W2. This stone is a complete, desert-varnished 4.5 gram fragment. It seems that more of this meteorite was subsequently found, so it's hard for me to tell what the total known weight is. I assume it's under a kilogram, as few stones greater than 20-30 grams have been recovered from the lake.
So, this is a complete fragment of an American meteorite with a low total known weight. If you'd care to try hunting for meteorites here in the American Southwest, I think you'll find that this is a much easier way to obtain one.
