Meteorites, Campo Del Cielo (Argentina) – 10g

Campo del Cielo are a group of iron meteorites which take their name from the area where they fell in northern Argentina. First reported in 1576 (though familiar to indigenous cultures for centuries) at least 26 craters have been discovered since in this area, which spans almost 60 square kilometres. Carbon dating of charred wood from beneath the meteorite fragments indicates that the fall happened around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. The composition is roughly 90% iron and 8% nickel, with trace amounts of cobalt and phosphorus.
