I'm not so sure this picture shows slickensides...if you look closely at the picture there are veins of melt running from the black area....I think it is just a break through one of the large melt pockets that are evident in Chelyabinsk.....it does have the look of a slickenside but they are just paper thin black melt sheets scored in one direction and would not have thicker melt veins coming from them.
