    About This Auction
    Up for auction is an iron-nickel Campo del Cielo meteorite from Argentina.  It weighs 381 grams and measures 2.5  inches across.  This meteorite is covered with many regmaglypts, also called thumbprints. There are dimples, grooves, ridges and indentations from its  high velocity ablative flight through the upper atmosphere.  These surface features represent softer parts of the meteorite that melted away from the unevenly distributed heat of compressed air in front of the meteorite (ram pressure.) This specimen has a very nice sculptural shape.
    Campo is classified as a Group IAB Og polycrystalline, coarse octahedrite.
    Campo del Cielo meteorites are composed of 93% iron, 6.7% nickel and trace amounts of various elements and compounds, including troilite inclusions. The approximately 5000 year old Campo strewnfield and its 25 craters was rediscovered by Spanish Conquistadors in 1576.
    These are some of the best quality iron meteorites available in their price range. All meteorites come with an ID card.
