Terraria – How to Summon meteors and fight Eater of Worlds when there is no corruption in the world

terraria

I noticed in my Terraria world that I have absolutely no Corruption biomes. Nada. Nothing. I was really hoping to get my hands on some meteorite but it seems to be a pipe dream in my current world. Are there alternative ways for me to summon a meteor? Can this be done in the Crimson Biomes?

This is pretty weird for me since this is a large map. One would expect multiple Corruption biomes. This world is 3 days old, so it was created after patch 1.2

Crimson and corruption are mutually exclusive - only one can exist in a world without the player bringing in items from another world. Breaking Demon Hearts in Crimson chasms will achieve a comparable effect (the boss is different, prizes are very similar, meteors do fall) to breaking shadow orbs in Corruption.
