Zsolt inquires:

"Do you know (or estimate) anybody that what
 can be about the Chelyabinsk real TKW?"

Hello Zsolt and List,

Not quite sure what you mean but Brown estimates the *original object*
had a diameter of about 54 feet (17 m) and a mass of roughly 10,000
metric tons.

According to the writeup from MB 101:

The total mass collected by local people is certainly > 100 kg and perhaps > 500 kg.

Regards,

Bernd
