411 gram shrapnel with patina.   Iron, IIAB

TKW 23 MT. Observed fall 12 February 1947, Primorskiy kray, Russia.


       


Matthias writes:
The bizarre shape of this sharp-edged piece of torn metal visualizes the violent fragmentation and the enormous speed and energy when hitting the ground.

Prov.: Gregor Pacer, Baitylia Research; Ex-Collection Rolf Buehler, Swiss Meteorite Lab, Glarus.
