8.2 grams.   LL5
TKW 1 ton and counting. Observed fall 15 February 2013, in Chelyabinskaya oblast’, Russia.


Herbert writes:
To me, Chelyabinsk is to stony meteorites what Shikhote-Alin is to irons: a large fall with a huge number of individuals, displaying an amazing variety of sizes, shapes, and morphologies. Here is a nice individual with a quite uncommon feature: long "tongues" of melt extending from the lip that formed on the back of this oriented stone.
