An example of the rarest major meteorite class Stony-irons are by far the rarest of the three main classes of meteorites; the others being irons and stones. Mesosiderites and pallasites make up the stony-irons and Vaca Muerta (spanish for "dead cow") is a rare example of the mesosiderite type. First discovered in 1861 by prospectors looking for rare metals, the Vaca Muerta meteorite comes from a difficult-to-reach area in Chile's vast Atacama Desert. The area has been extensively hunted since the 1960s and examples of this meteorite only rarely come to market. In the second episode of the second season of our award-winning series Meteorite Men, Geoff explored the famous Vaca Muerta strewnfield in the Atacama Desert of Chile, with his co-host Steve Arnold. These actual pieces were found while filming the show.Weight: Each meteorite weighs approximately 1 gram. Approximate dimensions of specimen box: 84 mm x 58 mm x 24 mm.
