Additional Details:
Several miles southeast of Canyon Diablo is a remarkable place called Meteorite Mountain, where it is supposed that a colossal sky wanderer once fell. The crater cavity marking its crash into the earth is a mile wide and over 700 feet deep. Large fragments of meteoric stone containing small diamonds have been found near by
