The larger meteorite pile is about 3 meters high and has more than a hundred pieces. The stones are gray-black, dense, hard, and slightly rounded. The edges and corners are mostly smooth. Tapping the stone surface makes a metallic sound. The larger one is 2.5 meters long.

The famous Katantash stone man tomb is located about 400 meters west of the meteorite group. The tomb is surrounded by black stones. Two black stones about 1 meter high are engraved with a man and a woman. It is presumed that this is the portrait of the owner of the tomb. The hostess wears a headscarf and has a round face, resembling a nomadic Mongolian woman. Judging from the color and texture of the stone, the stone statue is carved from the meteorite body transported from the meteorite pile.
