The Bjurb�le L/LL4 meteorite slammed through 40 cm of solid
ice and broke into fragments, the largest of which weighed
80 kg - the total weight was about 330-400 kg. The diameter
of the hole in the ice measured 425 x 350 cm. The depth of
the water at the impact site was 90 cm and the sea-floor
consisted of  soft organic mud. There were numerous splashes
of mud around the impact hole up to a distance of 20 to 25
meters. The meteorite was finally recovered from a depth of
6 meters below the surface of the water in the clay layer
underlying the mud layer.
