Imilac |
| Imilac was found in 1822 in the
Atacama Desert, Atacama, Chile. Numerous masses, large and small, have been removed
over the years. The largest individual found weighed 450 pounds. I made a
trip to the Imilac strewnfield in late April 2000 and can say first-hand that there is
very little material left to be found. Systematic searching with ATV's using
high-tech metal detecting has pretty much cleaned out the area. Imilac is classified
as a Pallasite. Imilac entry in the Meteoritical Bulletin Photos from my trip to Imilac in 2000
