Abstract
Se realiza el estudio de caracterización elemental de pequeños fragmentos de un meteorito caído el día 15 de septiembre de 2007 a horas 16:44:20 UTC en la cercanía de la localidad de Huanocollo, Prov. Carancas del territorio peruano, en las coordenadas 16º39′52" S y 69º02′32" W, y a una altura 3825 msnm. Para este fin fueron realizados diversos análisis de difracción y fluorescencia de RX (Rayos X), así como análisis mineragráfico y petrográfico. Los resultados permiten concluir que la muestra analizada corresponde a un meteorito de tipo condrito.
A study was carried out to obtain a characterization of the mineralogical and petrographic properties of small fragments from a fallen meteorite found on the 15th September, 2007 at 4:44:20 PM UTC close to the locality of Huanocollo, within the Carancas Province of Perú at the coordinates 16º39′52" S and 69º02′32" W, and an altitude of 3825 masl. The results obtained from the analysis of the diffraction and fluorescence of X-rays and other analyses show that the sample corresponds to a chondrite meteorite.
