  On September, 15th, 2007, in the community of Carancas (Puno, Peru) a stony
meteorite formed a crater explosive type with a mean diameter of 13.5 m. some
samples meteorite fragments were collected. The petrologic analysis performed
corresponds to a meteorite ordinary chondrite H 4-5. In this paper we have
analyzed the magnetic properties of a meteorite fragment with a proton
magnetometer. Also in order to have a complete characterization of the Carancas
meteorite and its crater, from several papers, articles and reports, we have
made a compilation of the most important characteristics and properties of this
meteorite.
