Spanish explorers first discovered this location in 1572. Many tons of these meteorites are known. Specimen exhibits numerous regmaglyptes, all gorgeous and well-defined. As shown in photo, specimen is free-standing on base. Very showy, with no rust. Unlike some Campos, this particular specimen has "the look", meaning that it is "alien" in appearance….very angular, with lots of bumps, valleys, and ridges.
