L5 chondrite, S2, gas-rich, olivine Fa 24.5 mol%, Fetotal 23.04 weight%

Exactly 70 years ago eight stones and fragments fell near Elenovka railway station on October 17, 1951 (4:30 p.m.), and 54.64 kg were collected.

The shown end section with finely ground cut face – polishing is difficult due to the fragile nature of the material – has some secondary crust on the outer surface (Photo 3).
