Made from A Campo Del Cielo Meteorite

Campo del Cielo refers to a group of meteorites that were discovered within an 18.5 by 3-kilometer area near Campo del Cielo Argentina. These meteorites were part of an approximately 300-ton meteorite fall that likely occurred between 4000-5000 years ago.

Iron type meteorites are composed primarily of iron and nickel, and are the remnants of differential cores torn apart at the beginning of the solar system. These metallic meteorites are often the easiest to identify after millions of years post-impact because they are quite different from terrestrial material, especially when it comes to their mass-to-surface area ratio. They are exceptionally heavy for their size since iron is a high-density metal: this is also why the Earth’s core is nickel-iron.
