{"title":"Canyon Diablo - Iron IAB-MG","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanyon Diablo is one of the most famous Iron meteorites in the world, directly associated with Meteor Crater in Arizona, USA. The impact occurred around 50,000 years ago, when a large iron-nickel body struck the desert surface and formed one of the best-preserved impact craters on Earth. Canyon Diablo is officially classified as an Iron, IAB-MG meteorite and represents ancient metallic material from an early asteroid parent body. Over 30 tonnes of material have been recovered, making it one of the classic and most studied Iron meteorites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanyon Diablo specimens are typically dense iron-nickel fragments, often showing sculpted surfaces, regmaglypts, oxide patina, and weathering from long terrestrial exposure. Cut and etched pieces can reveal Widmanstätten patterns, although some material was heavily shocked during the impact event. The meteorite is also known for accessory phases including troilite, graphite, cohenite, and schreibersite, and some shocked material contains tiny diamonds formed under extreme pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying Canyon Diablo has played an important role in understanding impact cratering, Iron meteorites, and the destructive effects of asteroid collisions with Earth. Its direct connection to Meteor Crater gives it exceptional scientific and historical significance. For collectors, Canyon Diablo offers a classic American Iron meteorite with strong provenance, recognisable form, and a direct link to one of the world’s most iconic impact sites. Each specimen represents ancient asteroid metal and a documented piece of Earth’s impact history.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"canyon-diablo","title":"Canyon Diablo - Iron IAB-MG - Fragment - 11.51g - USA (Arizona)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"531\"\u003eCanyon Diablo is one of the most famous Iron meteorites in the world, directly associated with Meteor Crater in Arizona, USA.
