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!
