Campo del Cielo Meteorite: Originating from Argentina, this iron-nickel meteorite site dates to around 4,000 years old. Part of a local legend, the group of meteorites were discovered by the indigenous people of the region and dubbed Piguem Noralta. The Spanish colonists translated this as Campo del Cielo, or “Field of the Sky.''
Chondrite Meteorite: Originating from the asteroid belt, this meteorite is composed of silicate minerals and metal grains, and is over 4.5 billion years old. It contains chondrules, which are round grains formed in the early solar system.
