An unnamed resident of Chelyabinsk in Russia's Urals region found a meteorite weighing 3.4kg near the village of Timiryazevsky and sent it to scientists at Chelyabinsk University for analysis.

Fallen meteorite creates a large hole on the ice surface in Lake Chebarkul.

'This is a meteorite. It is the largest meteorite (Chelyabinsk) so far analyzed by scientists, ' confirmed Andrei Kocherov, an official at the University of Chelyabinsk. Kocherov said the owner was also given a certificate of the rock he found to be a meteorite.

Chelyabinsk meteorite with a diameter of up to 18m and a weight of 10,000 tons, exploded in the sky of Chelyabinsk city on the Urals on February 15. The explosion equivalent to 440 kilograms of TNT explosives - 27 times the power of a nuclear bomb dropped on Japan's Nagasaki city in 1945. This meteorite explosion injured 1,200 people and many glass windows broken.

The meteorite is thought to burst into 7 large pieces and one of those pieces may have fallen into Lake Chebarkul, forming a large hole about 8m in diameter on the ice. At the end of March 2013, a radar detected a large pit at the bottom of the lake likely to be created by a meteorite.

Chelyabinsk city government spent 3 million rubles (about $ 10,000) to search for meteorites under Lake Chebarkul. This meteorite is believed to have an oval shape, a diameter of 1m long and a weight of about 600kg.
