Svend writes:
This meteorite was recovered in 2019 in the central part of the strewnfield. The find location is in immediate proximity to the impact pit that contained a 19 kg individual and that was found by Garcia and Barrera in 1986 and is believed to be a fragment from that mass, separated late in the flight. The photo showing the author in the Imilac strewnfield gives an impression of the awe-inspiring vista of the majestic Llullailiaco, a dormant stratovolcano at the border of Argentinia and Chile, some 80 km to the east of Imilac Station.
