Meteorite Fragment Found In Altai

Meteorite Fragment Found In Altai

Russian social science and research expedition “Kosmopoisk” has sent four meteorite fragments found in Altai to Moscow laboratory.
      
      Research, carried out in field, showed that there exists high probability that two stones out of four are real meteorite fragments. The expedition found a meteorite crater 1.5 kilometer away from their camp, but nasty weather prevented them from detailed studying of said crater.
      
      Currently the group consists of eight members, and two more groups are combing out neighbouring areas. Local schoolchildren are also taking part in a search for meteorites together with scientific groups.
