† A large and impressive Meteorite from Campo del Cielo Gran Chaco Gualamba Argentina weighing over 11kg 23cm across Four centuries ago during Spain's conquest of South America a Spanish Governor learned from the native people of Argentina about a stone that they believed had fallen from heaven. He sent for Captain de Miraval to form an expedition who returned with a huge piece of iron meteorite that became known as "Meson de Fierro". Campo del Cielo in today's Argentina means field of the sky or heaven which seems appropriate. There are a series of craters found at the main site. Recovered meteorites are found in and around a series of small craters; the largest crater being about 260 by 217 feet in diameter. All together searchers have found at least 12 craters.
