Hello Listers,

I agree, this is a Hammer Meteorite ?Fall but I would go further with that phase and call it a Hammer Shower Fall cause 100's and 100's of hammer stones :)

Hi Juris & others interested,
? ? ? ? Mike Farmer tells me hundreds if not thousands of stones
Have been recovered from roofs (but mixed in with all others).
? ? ? ? As for the shockwave question....debatable. Carancus in Peru
Had a shockwave that killed a llama and a ewe, but also had ejected
A mudball filled with meteoritic fragments hit the roof of a house.
(See photo and story about 1/3rd down the page at:

Under, CARANCUS)
? ? ? ? So, given the roof stones and the woman struck, Chelyabinsk is
Definitely a hammer fall...though it remains to be seen if we will end up
With specimens KNOWN to be hammer stones. (Ironically, hundreds
Of hammer stones will end up in collections - but unidentified as such).
? ? ? ? Michael
