Besides the fact that CDs that large are MUCH more rare. The LARGE 
regmaglypts is the big tell. Canyon Diablos don't typically have large 
smoother thumbprints like Campos do which is caused by ablation. CDs are 
more "shrapnel" like, with sharp edges, ridges, and points. Typical of 
an impact iron.

Campo del Ceilo meteorites are different in that MOST pieces are highly 
thumbprinted/ablated, evidencing their high altitude breakup and 
ablation which smoothes the outer surface.

Not an from explosive impact/explosive event which rips the iron to 
pieces like the Canyon Diablos.
