Hello all,

The name of the Brazilian meteorite is Campinorte and not Campinorete.
I think I have the only piece on a private collection:

http://www.meteorito.com.br/moutinho/meteoritos.php?action=view&pg=3&ct=&idT=1
I got it from Mr. Diniz and the main 2T mass was hidden by the owner.

I have some pictures of the main mass if someone is interested.

Cheers,

Andre Moutinho
IMCA 2731
