Canyon Diablo meteorites originate from the area around the "Meteor Crater" impact crater in Arizona. The desert around the crater is littered with shrapnels of nickel iron (meteorites). When the giant iron impactor slammed into the desert floor, the resulting catastrophic explosion vaporized a large portion of the meteorite. Many thousands of fragments of this material was scattered around the desert.
