"We have just completed the study, we confirm that the
particulate matters, found by our expedition in the area
of Lake Chebarkul indeed have meteorite nature," Viktor
Grohovsky of the Urals Federal University said.
"This meteorite is an ordinary chondrite, it is a stony
meteorite which contains some 10 percent of iron. It is most
likely to be named Chebarkul meteorite," Grohovsky said.
