[Greg Hupé]

Hi Bernd,

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

This Bjurböle 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:

Bjurböle (L/LL4; S1; friable; native copper):

The Bjurböle 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.
