Meteorites - Collection 397

The campo del cielo meteorites, named after the region of Argentina where they were discovered, are fascinating objects. Mostly composed of iron with traces of nickel and other elements, these meteorites are silvery gray in color and have an irregular, bumpy surface, reflecting their journey through the Earth's atmosphere. It is estimated that they fell to Earth around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Their study offers a valuable perspective on the composition and formation processes of celestial bodies.
