The Campo del Cielo meteorite was discovered in Northern Argentina in 1576. It is named for the location where it fell; the Field of Heaven. The meteorite fell 4,000-5,000 years ago and created a field of craters. The total weight of all fragments is over 100 tons, making this the largest meteorite ever recorded. The largest piece weighs 37 tons! This meteorite is classified as an iron meteorite and is composed of 93% iron. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me.

The crater field covers an area of 3×20 kilometers and contains at least 26 craters, the largest being 115×91 meters. The craters’ age is estimated as 4,000–5,000 years. The craters, containing iron masses, were reported in 1576, but were already well known to the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. The craters and the area around contain numerous fragments of an iron meteorite. The total weight of the pieces so far recovered exceeds 100 tonnes, making the meteorite the heaviest one ever recovered on Earth. The largest fragment, consisting of 37 tonnes, is the second heaviest single-piece meteorite recovered on Earth, after the Hoba meteorite.[1] Contents [hide]1 History2 The meteorite impact, age and composition3 References4 External links History “Las Víboras” meteorite found in Campo del Cielo and exhibited at the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (Chaco, Argentina)In 1576, the governor of a province in Northern Argentina commissioned the military to search for a huge mass of iron, which he had heard that Indians used for their weapons. The Indians claimed that the mass had fallen from the sky in a place they called Piguem Nonralta which the Spanish translated as Campo del Cielo (“Field of the Sky”). The expedition found a large mass of metal protruding out of the soil. They assumed it was an iron mine and brought back a few samples, which were described as being of unusual purity. The governor documented the expedition and deposited the report in the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, but it was quickly forgotten and later reports on that area merely repeated the Indian legends. Following the legends, in 1774 don Bartolome Francisco de Maguna rediscovered the iron mass which he called el Meson de Fierro (“the Table of Iron”). Maguna thought the mass was the tip of an iron vein. The next expedition, led by Rubin de Celis in 1783, used explosives to clear the ground around the mass and found that it was probably a single stone. Celis estimated its mass as 15 tonnes and abandoned it as worthless. He himself did not believe that the stone had fallen from the sky and assumed that it had formed by a volcanic eruption. However, he sent the samples to the Royal Society of London and published his report in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.[2] Those samples were later analyzed and found to contain 90% iron and 10% nickel and assigned to a meteoritic origin.[3] Later, many iron pieces were found in the area weighing from a few milligrams to 34 tonnes. A mass of about 1000 kg known as Otumpa was located in 1803. Its larger part of about 634 kg was brought in 1813 to Buenos Aires and later donated to the British Museum. Other large fragments are summarized in the table below. The mass called el Taco was originally 3070 kg, but the largest remaining fragment weighs 1998 kg.[4] Campo del Cielo is located in Argentina Campo del CieloCampo del CieloLocation of Campo del Cielo cratersThe largest mass of 37000 kg was located in 1969 at a depth of 5 m using a metal detector.[3] This stone, named El Chaco, is the second heaviest single-piece meteorite after the Hoba meteorite (Namibia) which weighs 60 tonnes. However, the total mass of the Campo del Cielo fragments found so far exceeds 60 tonnes, making it the heaviest meteorite ever recovered on Earth.[5] In 1990 a local Argentinean highway police officer foiled a plot by Robert Haag to steal El Chaco. The stone had already been moved out of the country, but was returned to Campo del Cielo and is now protected by a provincial law.[6] The meteorite impact, age and composition A crater field of at least 26 craters was found in the area, with the largest being 115×91 meters. The field covered an area of 3×19 kilometers with an associated strewn area of smaller meteorites extending further by about 60 km. At least two of the craters contained thousands of small iron pieces. Such an unusual distribution suggests that a large body entered the Earth’s atmosphere and broke into pieces which fell to the ground. The size of the main body is estimated as larger than 4 meters in diameter. The fragments contain an unusually high density of inclusions for an iron meteorite, which might have facilitated the disintegration of the original meteorite. Samples of charred wood were taken from beneath the meteorite fragments and analyzed for carbon-14 composition. The results indicate the date of the fall to be around 4,200–4,700 years ago, or 2,200–2,700 years BC.[3][7] The average composition of the Campo del Cielo meteorites is 6.67% Ni, 0.43% Co, 0.25% P, 87 ppm Ga, 407 ppm Ge, and 3.6 ppm Ir, with the rest being iron.[8][3] Major fragments of the Campo del Cielo meteorite[8][9][10][11]Mass (tonnes) ↓Name ↓Year of discovery ↓>15el Meson de Fierro or Otumpa (missing)1576>0.8Runa Pocito or Otumpa18034.21el Toba19230.025el Hacha19240.732el Mocovi19250.85el Tonocote19310.46el Abipon19361el Mataco19372el Taco19621.53la Perdida19673.12Las Viboras196737el Chaco1969 (extracted in 1980)>10Tañigó II (missing)199715la Sopresa20057.85el Wichí or Meteorito Santiagueño2006
