“The Ozerki meteorite shower fell on June 21, 2018 in Russia. More than 100 individual stones were found. The total recovered mass of the meteorite rain is ˃10 kg. Ozerki is classified as ordinary chondrite (L6, W0, S5) [1]. Preliminary study of the chondrite indicates absence of heavy particle tracks in olivine (Ol) grains presumably due to the low cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) age of this meteorite and the deep location of the studied sample (≥ 30 cm) in the pre-atmospheric body with radius ≥ 50 cm [2]. We report petrological information on this meteorite and preliminary data on noble gases and nitrogen extracted by stepped combustion and crushing methods. “
