> 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.
