Crusted CHELYABINSK METEORITE Fell Feb 15th 2013 in Russia
Meteorite is very tiny - weighs just 0.19 grams. It is very typical of the almost 100% fusion crusted meteorites that was found the day after the fall. This meteorite looks freshly fallen as if it was picked up the day after the fall (Because it probably was). The Chelyabinsk meteorite fell Feb 15th 2013 in Russia. According to Wikipedia it was the largest Meteor to enter the earths atmosphere since 1908 (Although the 1947 Sikhote Alin meteorite might have been bigger). It is the only meteorite known to have done extensive damage (7200 building was damaged) and to have caused massive causalities (According to Wikipedia 1500 people were hospitalized - some seriously.) Damage was done over 100 square kilometers. Large numbers of drivers in Russia have webcams for evidence because of the high number of car accidents and because of police corruption and if you search youtube you will find many videos of the fireball. The next day a popular activity among school kids was to go searching for meteorites which were easy to find in the freshly fallen snow as there were little holes in the snow everywhere. Tens of thousands of tiny meteorites - mostly (Like this one) with gorgeous fusion crust, were found. (313787-3)
