a total mass of about 20kg were collected along a rural path after a
brilliant fireball and loud noises were observed by several people.
Antonio Silva recovered the first pieces two days after the fall, and,
subsequently, local villages recovered other fragments. The meteorite
made an elliptical crater, 60x30 cm, 20 cm deep, and most of the fragments
were found within 55 m of this. These samples were recovered from the
crater on May 4, 1999.
