This was a huge fall find making it a more affordable meteorite to own. Pieces of Campo that look like this were put in liquid nitrogen and exploded, then tumbled, giving each piece a unique shape. About 5,600 years ago in what is now called the Argentinian provinces of Chaco and Formosa, there was a huge meteorite impact. Massive pieces of cosmic iron debris rained down over the area.
