Hi again list, Baygorria has already been studied by competent scientists and been determined to be similar to Campo del Cielo.
Here is the entry in the Meteoritical Bulletin: Baygorria 33 deg. S, 56degW (approx.) R¡o Negro Province, Uruguay Found 1994 July 8 Iron (IAB) A single mass, ~80 kg, was found in a grass field near Baygorria dam. Classification (F. Wlotzka, MPI, Mainz) and analysis (B. Spettel, Max Planck Inst. fr Chemie, Mainz, Germany): Ni, 6.5%; Co, 0.43%; Ga 97.8 ppm; Ge, 10.9 ppm; Ir, 3.69 ppm; composition similar to Campo del Cielo. Specimens: main mass, contact Mr. J. Escomel, Roque Gra Seras 914, Montevideo 11300, Uruguay; type specimen, 4.6 g, MPI, Mainz. Note that they mentioned "Ni, 6.5%; Co, 0.43%; Ga 97.8 ppm; Ge, 10.9 ppm; Ir, 3.69 ppm; composition similar to Campo del Cielo." This is good enough for me.
