Hello Listers, Here another link not sure if this been posted, but it crazy how it did oxidize in the water. Now the question is home mush will it oxidize on the surface. I wonder if the state of this fragment will hold true for the mother load :) Only time will tell. It would be cool to own a sample from the bottom of the lake, once they bring it up to the surface :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633nyc/m.html http://meteoritefalls.com/ The Article Tiny Chelyabinsk Meteorite Fragment Found, Big to Be Lifted Soon Topic: Hail of Meteorite Fragments Hits Russia YEKATERINBURG, September 25 (RIA Novosti) – While removing silt in an effort to fish out a huge chunk of meteorite from the bottom of a lake in Russia’s Urals, divers recovered a smaller meteorite on Tuesday, scientists said. A meteorite, estimated to weigh about 10,000 metric tons, exploded over the Chelyabinsk Region in February. The biggest of chunks that the celestial body fragmented into ended up in the local Chebarkul Lake, and silt is now being pumped from the lakebed to recover it. According to scientists, the huge chunk, weighting hundreds of metric tons, is buried under a 2.5-meter (8.2-foot) layer of silt. Scientists expect to remove the silt around it on Wednesday evening. However, divers came across a smaller one on Monday evening, but were unable to recover it because of a huge amount of silt on the lakebed. The rock was eventually recovered early on Tuesday. “A meteorite chunk roughly the size of a human fist has been lifted from the depth of 13 meters [43 feet] in Lake Chebarkul,” the Urals Federal University said in a statement. Viktor Grokhovsky, the founder and longstanding leader of the university’s meteorite expedition, said he studied the images of the smaller meteorite and confirmed its space origin. source: http://en.ria.ru/russia/20130925/183707251/Tiny-Chelyabink-Meteorite-Fragment-Found-Big-to-Be-Lifted-Soon.html __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The thick mud at the bottom of Lake Chebarkul is surely very oxygen-poor. But, the stone will have been completely saturated now, like a sponge. So the minute they remove it from the mud, the oxidation will begin rapidly, unless they undertake measures to stabilize it.

Wow, they have pulled up some serious kilos of fragments! It seems the mass shattered on impact with the ice surprisingly. I'm glad they are recovering this material. Clearly nice large brecciated pieces.

Re: [meteorite-list] First fragment of Chelyabinsk meteorite raised from bottom of, Lake Chebarkul
I know what you mean Mike. I was thinking one honking big lump down there. On reflection though, I can imagine a couple of feet of ice giving as good as it gets at the collision speeds involved. Judging by the propensity of tiny bits this big one may well have been pretty beat up and fractured before impact. Drive a fast car flat out into a wall of ice like that and I'm pretty sure the leftovers would be pretty mangled.
