Pallasite mainly stony (represented by Olivinic Orthopiroxenite)

Taenite 25-30%
Mackiwanite- Vallerite 8-10%
Stone 50-60%

Nice chrondules.

The analysis is not easy to read and is not correctly written in spanish 
meteorite terms (they are experts in mineralogy).

Meteorite is called "Huanucollo" , as it felt in a dry river that flew 
to this location: Huancollo.

So finally, was it a meteorite?  Then my questions: Just only one 
fragment? is it common? may be a strewnfield? and wow, what a huge crater!

My 2 cents!
