The Canyon Diablo meteorite impacted at Barringer Crater, Arizona and is known from fragments collected around the crater and nearby
Canyon Diablo which lies about 3 to 4 miles west of the crater. The meteorite is an iron octahedrite which fell between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago. The meteorite has been
known and collected since the mid 1800s and was known and used by
pre-historic Native Americans .
The Barringer Crater, from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, was
the center of a long dispute over the origin of craters that showed
little evidence of volcanism.
