Ochansk
H4
Fell August 30, 1877
Perm, Russia

After an appearance of a meteor and a many detonations, a shower of stones totaling 500kg fell in the village of Tabory, near Ochansk. The largest weighed 115kg. This is a very friable meteorite, making it difficult to sand or polish without it crumbling or falling apart. Almost all of this material is locked away in museums. A lucky Internet find made this unusually large piece availble to me. The photo below shows a woodcut engraving depicting the Ochansk fireball
