Francesco Moser

Meteorite type & CLASS / OFFICIAL NAME or NUMBER (Meteoritical Bulletin Database):   Chelyabinsk LL5 Chondrite Meteorite

FALL/FIND LOCATION: Chelyabinskaya oblast, Russia. Witnessed fall 15 Feb 2013

WEIGHT:  2.087g .- Several small individuals

Ref: L8

Observations: Nice collection of several small specimens. Included sonic blast glass.

History: At 9:22 a.m. (local time) on February 15, 2013, a bright fireball was seen by numerous residents in parts of the Kurgan, Tyumen, Ekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk districts. Images of the fireball were captured by many video cameras, especially in Chelyabinsk. Residents of the Chelyabinsk district heard the sound of a large explosion. The impact wave destroyed many windows in Chelyabinsk and surrounding cities. Many people were wounded by glass fragments. A part of the roof and a wall of a zinc plant and a stadium in Chelyabinsk were also damaged. Numerous (thousands) stones fell as a shower around Pervomaiskoe, Deputatsky and Yemanzhelinka villages ~40 km S of Chelyabinsk. The meteorite pieces were recovered and collected out of snow by local people immediately after the explosion. The snow cover was about 0.7 m deep. The falling stones formed holes surrounded by firm snow. Largest stones reached the frozen soil. A stone may have broken the ice of Chebarkul Lake, located 70 km W of Chelyabinsk. Small meteorite fragments were found around the 8 m hole in the ice but divers did not find any stones on the lake bottom.

The authenticity of this specimen is guaranteed by the member of the Global Meteorite Association G0043 and IMCA 5681.
