Souslovo
History

line

Name: Souslovo
Location: Bashkortostan, Russia
Type: Ordinary Chondrite L4

In late July 1997, Ismagil Gaysin and his son Radik were loading hay on to a cart
near Souslovo village, 10 km N of Birsk town. The cart was not safe on the sloping
track, and the father asked his son to find a stone to secure the wheel. Radik found
a stone buried in soil in the nearest ditch. When the work was finished, they decided
to bring the stone home because it had an unusual color and shape. Later, they thought
that the stone (weighing 19.3 kg) could be a meteorite, and in 2002 sent a piece to the
Vernadsky Institute, Moscow for identification. In 1966 March 30, 15:45 UT, a bright
fireball was observed in the region and it could be that the meteorite find might
be related to the fireball.
