very interesting! thanks for post!
on the photo a plain area can be seen around the crater.

Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene where the meteorite had left a crater 30m wide and 6m deep, said local official Marco Limache.

"Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned," he said.

Scientists have since been sent to the village of Caranca , located in a remote region of Peru near the border of Bolivia, where they will gather samples of what is believed to be a meteorite. The samples will be taken for analysis in Peru's capital of Lima.
