Meteorite from an area known as the Campo del Cielo (Field of the Heaven) located in the north of Argentina. This area, measuring about 3 x 20 km, contains a number of craters resulting from the impact of an iron meteorite some 4 000 to 5 000 years ago. Many fragments have been recovered, from aboriginal times (for use as tools) up to the present, ranging in weight from a few kilograms to 37 tonnes. | |
