Canyon
Diablo Iron Meteorites
The
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.
