Here so there is a collecting meteorites at Emanzhelinka. On aerial photographs traces of snowmobiles and pedestrian collectors on snow-covered fields are well visible:

Maybe it is posted & I missed it ?

can you explain the snow sticks ? Ice sickles ?

are they created by the heat of the meteorite ?

I never saw anything like that in snow before

The snow stick, is dug out and delivered to a photo operptory, for descriptive reasons.

 

[jeff of pa]

I have never seen snow stick together in that shape before

Fast fusion, then agglomeration.

Really cool. Thanks for continuing to share Barkas. With the detonations that occurred, there have to be thousands of pieces scattered over a very large area.
Good luck with the recovery efforts!

Well stated Charl.
I have only been collecting meteorites for 5-6 years, but really have learned alot from being a member of the metlist. Unfortunately for me, it seems all the recoverable falls happen far away from PA. Have you been involved with any recent recovery efforts anywhere? Or are you involved scientifically? Or if a collector, what is your favorite meteorite in your collection?

Thanks, sciflyer. I'm just a collector, but I've gone long periods where my interest becomes dormant, and I focus on other things, in particular surface hunting for Native american artifacts. Last meteorite I bought was about 5 years ago. But I was very involved with collecting for much of the last 30 years. I like witnesses falls more then finds. Witnessed falls often have interesting stories connected with them, this new Russian fall is sure an example of that!! I like planetary, so I have quite a few lunar and Martian meteorites, nothing big at the prices they sell for!. The metlist is great. I subscribed for many years in the late 90's through mid 2000's, check archives now. Here's a good forum I just joined because there were so many threads about Cherbakul(official name), but barkas remains the best source of info, IMO. The forum is moderated, takes about 4-5 days to get approved, can't use the site otherwise. I just noticed that barkas has begun posting his photos and info there as well. I translated the Russian forum page, but could not find any specimens for sale but barkas indicates at Club Space Rock that there are reliable people selling on the Russian forum.

My favorite meteorite is a 378gm Allende individual with primary and secondary fusion crust, seen here. Maybe I'll put it in it's own thread, don't see them this big too often these days, and with fairly fresh crust. And believe me, I could NEVER afford such a specimen today, I've had it since the late 80's. nice meeting you here, scyflyer!

The SPOT 5 satellite received pictures of the area of falling of fragments of a meteorite near the lake Tchebarkul, in photos the ice-hole in the ice, arisen after falling, and also numerous traces of people and cars is visible, the press service of the technical center "Skaneks" where reception and processing of images was carried out reported.

Wow, that is a beauty. That would fetch serious coin if sold. That looks to be museum quality. I only have a few grams of allende. I have only one lunar and one martian as well. Those can be very expensive.
Thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out.
Oh, also recently on the list, I read a new one found in Morrocco (I think) is thought to be from Mercury based on initial studies.

 

[Charl]

Thanks, scyflyer. I heard about the possible meteorite from Mercury. Collectors and scientists alike have long pondered whether any such specimens exist in our collections. Maybe this will be the first.

At Institute of geology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science (Novosibirsk) two fragments of a meteorite (that got), blown up over Chelyabinsk are studied on February 15.
By a preliminary estimate in the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, it is established that the main minerals of fragments are silicates:
olivin (Mg, Fe) 2SiO4,
and ortopiroxen (Mg, Fe) 2Si2O6.
In smaller quantity iron and nickel sulfides (FeS, Ni3S2) are found,
and native metals of Fe and Ni group.
Besides, in fragments of a meteorite are revealed chromite (Fe, Mg) by Cr2O4,
clinoporoxen (CaMgSi2O6),
plagioclase (Ca, Na) Al2Si2O8,
and also glass of polevoshpatovy structure.

The Russian Duma is considering banning export of the Russian fall:
