"This meteorite turned up on famous Tucson mineral Show 2005. Because of its great similarity to Campo del Cielo, some people doubt it to be from Uruguay. "
"One of the stories tells about difficulties to bring Campo legally from Argentina straight to USA. So they have been shipped the short way to Uruguay where the story of a new strewnfield was created. Truth or not?"
So apparently Finmet isnt trying to be deceitful. Why hes using the Baygorria name.... I have no idea.

I hate to burst your bubbles, but THERE IS NO BAYGORRIA!
It is CAMPO
I know the guys who sold it as Baygorria, the Argentine government is after them, so what did they do, they just call it Baygorria and say they found it in a lake in Uruguay.
Stupidest crap I have ever heard, and they told me in Tucson it is just a marketing ploy to keep themselves out of trouble.
So please, THESE meteorite are CAMPOS.
