Circumstances of the fall or discovery: The meteorite was found by a local resident during haying. The meteorite was broken into two uneven parts with a sledge hammer and left in a shed; only in July 1963 they were brought by I. A. Yudin to the Urals Geological Museum (city of Sverdlovsk, USSR). The meteorite nature of the stone was determined by I. A. Yudin and S. I. Smyshlyaev. The regmaglipts and fusion crust observed on the meteorite show chan­ges due to weathering.
