Meteorite found in Argentina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
D'Orbigny meteorite was found near Buenos Aires, Argentina in September 1979. It is the largest angrite found to date.[3]
History
D'Orbigny was found by a farm worker who hit it while plowing a corn field.[2] Not realising its significance he gave it to the landowner who stored it for about twenty years until reading an article on meteorites prompted him to have it analysed.[3]
As of January 2012[update] fragments of the meteorite were on sale for US$500/g.[4]
