Canyon Diablo (meteorite)
The Canyon Diablo meteorite refers to the many fragments of the approximately 50 m (160 ft) diameter asteroid that created Meteor Crater (also called Barringer Crater), Arizona, United States. Meteorites have been found around the crater rim, and were named in 1891 by convention for the closest post office, Canyon Diablo, Arizona. The actual canyon lies about 2.5 miles west of the crater in the westernmost part of the strewn field.
