{"title":"Campo Del Cielo - Iron, IAB","description":"\u003cp\u003eCampo del Cielo is one of the most famous Iron meteorite localities in the world, found across a crater field in northern Argentina between Chaco and Santiago del Estero provinces. The impact event is generally estimated to have occurred around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, producing numerous craters and scattering Iron meteorite fragments across a wide area. Campo del Cielo is officially classified as an Iron, IAB-MG meteorite, representing ancient iron-nickel material from an early asteroid parent body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCampo del Cielo specimens are composed primarily of iron-nickel metal and often occur as dense, sculpted, naturally weathered masses or fragments. Natural pieces may show regmaglypts, surface texture, oxidation, and impact-related forms, while cut and etched material can reveal metallic structure associated with IAB Iron meteorites. The locality is also known for very large masses, including some of the heaviest individual meteorites ever recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Campo del Cielo provides valuable insight into Iron meteorite impacts, crater-field formation, atmospheric fragmentation, and the preservation of large metallic meteorites on Earth. Its historic recognition, Argentine provenance, IAB-MG classification, and dramatic natural forms make it one of the classic Iron meteorites for collectors. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid metal connected to one of the best-known meteorite crater fields on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/0518\/8678\/collections\/Collection_Place_Holder_31c128e3-88e8-4554-922c-9f58def1ff9d.jpg?v=1780664992","url":"https:\/\/outerspacer.com\/collections\/campo-del-cielo-iron-iab.oembed","provider":"OuterSpacer Meteorites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
