The aerolite is located in the Province of
Santiago del Estero, in the uninhabited Otumpa pampa, which is also known as
"Sky Pampa," after the celestial origin of the stone.

According to certain analyses alleged to have been made in 1812, the
meteorite was constituted of pure meteoric iron, nickel and cobalt.

Not sure which meteorite this article is referring to. If someone has a
good ideal, I would appreciate comment.

Since "Sky Pampa" can be translated by "Campo del Cielo", and since Campo del
Cielo is an iron meteorite, it seems logical to me that the missing and found
meteorite is simply a large Campo del Cielo.
