List, Looking at the images I posted earlier today and the other smaller fragments goverment scientists collected plus information about 1000+ small black meteorites from maybe one village, it seems this fall deserves to be compared to the massive fall of pea-sized meteorites like Pultusk, Poland 1868 (H5).
An asteroid with 10000 tons of mass will retain a very large percentage of its cosmic velocity, so the energy will break it up in probably just smaller fragments. So maybe what is out there in South Ural is mostly these meteorite peas? On the light side The Pultusk fall with 180000! total fragments had 200 over 1 kg, with largest 9 kg, so there is still hope...
