The Campo del Cielo meteorite, is an iconic, and well documented meteorite. It struck Chaco Province, Northern Argentina between 4000 and 6000 years ago. It was from the Asteroid Belt between Jupiter and Mars. Early Spanish explorers first heard of its existence in 1576 from the Native Indians. The Indigenous Indians thought that it had fallen from Heaven, hence the name ‘Campo del Cielo’. When it fell to earth it broke up resulting in a series of craters in the southwestern part of the strewn field.
Iron Meteorites represent only 5% of all meteorites. These consist of iron-nickel alloys, including Kamacite and taenite. Rarer still are the stony-iron meteorites, these consist of iron-nickel metal and silicate minerals. These however make up only 1% of all meteorites found.
