Iron (nickel
iron) Meteorites - Campo del Cielo &
Canyon Diablo: Famous
meteorites
Iron meteorites are among some of the
most rare on earth. only about 5% of all meteorites that
fall to earth are irons. That's not much considering meteorites
are rare to begin with. Scientists believe that iron meteorites
are literally at the "core" of planet building
in our universe, and could be how the earth and for that
matter ALL planets were formed. Read this article on "How
To Make A Planet" by the Smithsonian
National Museum of Natural History. Iron
meteorites are made of a nickel iron alloy, and many
were made into tools and weapons for ancient peoples.
Even more amazing than that, it's theorized that the very
pieces of iron meteorites we hold in our hand today are
some of the very same nickel iron material that helped
form our planet. Is it possible that the meteorites for
sale on this page could possibly have been floating around
our solar
system for millions of years? Coule any of these meteorites
that have rocketed through our atmosphere and crashed
into our planet 10s of thousands of years ago be a small
fragment of a planet? Of course scientists are just a
bit closer to proving this theory than proving that Bigfoot
exists, but hey... It's possible!

Canyon Diablo iron meteorite is the worlds most famous meteorite
from the best preserved meteorite crater on the planet. This crater
was formed some 50,000 plus years ago by a giant iron meteor over
50 meters across weighing in at hundreds of thousands of metric
tons. When it impacted the Earth it displaced more than 100 million
tons of material and scattered fragments of nickel iron meteorite
for up to 15 Kilometers away. The crater itself is a whopping
1.2 kilometers across and over 150 meters deep. The amazing force
of the explosion generated by the impact was greater than 30 megatons
of TNT. Everything within a 5 mile radious is said to have been
obliterated by the concussion shock wave.
