Dear Greg,

Beautiful sample of Bjurbole! Gorgeous, 3 dimensional popping chondrules,
great history, rare locality, witnessed fall... It is also one of only a few
19th Cent. "historics" that can be had for a fraction of the price of others
falls.

FYI, there are some neat photo excerpts from the 1903 Bjurbole monograph
that I have uploaded (at the bottom) here:

Hi Bernd,

Thank you for the additional information of Bjurb?le. What are the
statistics of meteorites having 'native copper'?

This Bjurb?le specimen has a large 7mm chondrule protruding from the edge of

the 37.3-gram cut fragment measuring 45mm x 42mm x 13mm. I acquired it from
a private collection while in Europe.

Best Regards,
Greg

Hello All,

Some useful backround info on the RFSPOD for July 02, 2011:

Bjurb?le (L/LL4; S1; friable; native copper):

The Bjurb?le L/LL4 meteorite slammed through 40 cm of solid ice and broke
into fragments, the largest of which weighed 80kg - the total weight was
about 330-400 kg. The diameter of the hole in the ice measured 425 x 350 cm.

The depth of the water at the impact site was 90 cm and the sea-floor
consisted of soft organic mud. There were numerous splashes of mud round
the impact hole up to a distance of 20 to 25 meters. The meteorite was
finally recovered from a depth of 6 meters below the surface of the water in

the clay layer underlying the mud layer.

Bernd (who owns a 2.8-gr, tiny fragment)
