1) Fresh FALL / no weathering yet. Not a find.
2) Museum quality specimens/ pieces were picked up QUICKLY.
3) SCIENTIFIC value / HAS BEEN studied by NASA and by Dolores Hill and Harold Connelly at the U
of A. Tucson, AZ.
4) HISTORIC value / First ever FALL of a stony class of meteorite recorded in Peru.
5) FIRST EVER to cause underground spring water to boil.
6) "Hammer" / Did damage to something man made. Hit and penetrated a ROOF.
7) WITNESSED Fall. Seen by hundreds of people.
8) Had a very bad ODOR. Only a few others known to smell bad , one of which is Murchison.
9) Made people sick after smelling . But quickly subsided.
10) Caused a HUGE CRATER. And was not an Iron variety meteorite fall.
11) Fall KILLED a Llama AND a sheep that belonged to justina Limache.
12) Rare type of shock veins inside.
13) VERY Limited amount of material available for sale.
14) LOUD detonation ,sounds SCARED a lot of people.
15) Preliminary findings are H4/5. but the research continues ON THE SLICKENSIDES OR SHOCK
VEINS.
16) SHATTERED windows in local health center 1 kilometer away.
17) HIGHEST altitude that a meteorite has EVER been found.
18) Hit at such a HIGH altitude that it may have still been smoking.
19) Mike Farmer NEARLY caused an international incident? Yeah! Made lots of press.
20) VERY friable, Most meteorites are very hard.
21) FIRST actual seismic recording of a terrestrial meteorite impact registered a 1.5 tremor on the
seismic equipment which is equal to 4.9 tons of dynamite according to Ronald Woodman .
22) FIRST fall ever to knock down a person. His name was Don Gregorio Iruri was standing 300
meters away , he was interviewed just two days after the fall.
23) Good chance that if any material is still in crater it is by now meteorite SOUP
24)
Only fall in recent history where OFFICIALS told the public that it was harmful and that they should
discard and throw away the meteorites. So much was thrown away .
25) Crater resembles craters on the MOON. Tycho and Copernicus as noted by Bernd Pauli.
26) ONE of only five witnessed falls of this class of meteorite.
27) Has three different lithologies. Genomict, polymict and monomict breccia.
28) Radionuclides? short lived.
29) A GROUP FROM JAPAN ARE GOING TO OPEN A NEW MUSEUM IN CARANCAS . THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO PRESERVE THE CRATER FOR ENJOYMENT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS. THANK YOU JAPAN!
30) THE FOCUS OF THIS YEARS PLANETARY CONFERENCE WITH BE HOW This CARANCAS event challenges our understanding of entry physics and provides new implications for small craters on Earth and Mars.
31) ACCORDING TO BROWN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ;Normally with a small object like this, the atmosphere slows it down,and it becomes the equivalent of a bowling ball dropping into the ground,"
Schultz said. "It would make a hole in the ground, like a pit, but not a crater. But this meteorite kept on going at a speed about 40 to 50 times faster than it should have been going."Scientists have determined the Carancas fireball was a stony meteorite-- a fragile type long thought to be ripped into pieces as it enters the Earth'satmosphere and then leaves little more than a whisper of its journey.Yet the stony meteorite that struck Peru survived its passage mostly
intact before impact."This just isn't what we expected," Schultz said. "It was to the point
that many thought this was fake. It was completely inconsistent with our understanding how stony meteorites act."
