Hi All!

LIBERMAN R.G. et al. (2002) Campo del Cielo iron meteorite: Sample
shielding and meteoroid's preatmospheric size (MAPS 37-2, 2002, pp.
295-300): Romana A. and Cassidy W.A. (1972) determined the time of
fall to be ca. 4000 years B.P. by radiocarbon dating of charcoal samples
extracted from the bottom of one of the craters.

Cheers,

Bernd
