Name: Saratov

Type: Olivine-Hypersthene Chondrite L4
This stone fell at 3:00 P.M., on September 6, 1918. After the appearance of
a fireball, and detonations, several stones fell at Donguz and Belaya Gora.
This unusual stone is very friable; easily crumbling apart into individual
chondrules and powder. The total weight recovered was about 328 kilograms.
Never published in the Meteoritical Society Bulletins but some information is available.
