Resumen

Petrographic and chemical (major, minor and trace element) studies of silicate inclusions and metal from the San Juan A and B samples revealed that they are new masses belonging to the Campo del Cielo IAB iron meteorite shower. These masses must have being transported from the large strewn field in the Chaco and Santiago del Estero Provinces to the surroundings of San Juan city, where they have being recover in the year 2000. The sizes of the two masses of San Juan, collated 770 km SW from Santiago del Estero, is in agreement with what can been suggested for the transport of Campos (Wasson 2018).
