>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.
