Dry conditions and the unique landscape of the desert helped conserve things unique meteorite, which is believed to be derived from the birth of our solar system around 4.5 billion years ago.
A group of four geology of Ural Federal University was founded by the Lut desert, Dasht-e or-Lut, to search for evidence of a meteorite that fell to Earth in a ball of fire in the town of Chelyabinsk Russia in 2013.
The team, all of whom work for additional laboratory consortium Terra found 13 kilograms of Meteor-like raw material, with about 80% of the recovered samples believe that came from outer space.
It is believed that fragments have been part of a meteorite rain, at least 10 70 samples collected belong to the same type of meteorite.
The topic of the meteorite is believed to have derived from the birth of our solar system 4.5 billion years ago, but additional tests are needed to confirm this.
Professor Grokhosvky team assisted by his colleagues at the University of Kerman in Iran to the East, one of the two territories crossed by the Lut desert.
Half of the discovered fragments will remain in Iran, with the other half already in laboratory tests in Russia.
Viktor Grokhovsky is a member of the Committee of meteorites in the Russia Academy of Sciences, a network of scientific research institutions through the Federation of Russia.
Speaking to the News of Sputnik, Grokhosvky God said: ' team managed to collect a sufficient amount of material space, with the support of his colleagues in Kerman University of Iran '.
' During the fieldwork, about 13 kilograms of samples, which is considered a meteorite, found. '
' Half of the fragments found had been saved with colleague Iran; the other half has come to our test laboratory. '
"He said: ' for now the samples have been measured and incorporated into the catalogue."
' To determine the age of the fragments was discovered, scientists must consider when a fragment is formed in space, when separate from his parents, and how long it has been on Earth. '
' Based in ' isotopes can talk about age cosmology, i.e., how much the external body of the meteorite was in the form of an asteroid.
Mr. Grokhosvky previous major hit in 2013, when he led an expedition to retrieve fragments of the Meteor which exploded over the Ural mountains Russia.
This is the largest space rocks that have plagued the Earth in more than a century, with more than 1,600 people near the city of Chelyabinsk, injured by explosive shock wave-estimated as strong as 20 the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
His team found the 53 fragments of the Meteor, which acquired Chebarkul Lake ice blanket.
