Matthias writes:
Only cloth-cleaned individual, late phase of fragmentation, short before being ripped apart into two pieces. Densely gathered bundles of flowlines, one side shear plane.

Prov.: Vernadsky Institute, Moscow (from old stock). The piece was recovered during one of Yevgeny Krinov's expeditions to the SA strewnfield.
