Authentic Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment. A floating display frame and a certificate of authenticity are included with the purchase.
Campo del Cielo iron meteorite formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago.
The meteorite broke apart in the atmosphere and fell in the Chaco and Santiago del Estero Provinces of Argentina. Radiocarbon dating of charred trees near the crater field placed the impact at around 2500 BC. Oral history of indigenous groups describes an object falling from the sky and igniting massive forest fires.
