Title:
Extraterrestrial Amino Acids (4,568,200,00 Years Old)
Description:
At 10:58 am on September 28th, 1969, a bright fireball appeared in the sky near the small, riverside town of Murchison, Australia. Under tremendous stress, the bolide separated into three main pieces, spreading fragments across 13 square kilometers (5 sq mi), including one lump which crashed through a barn roof and landed in a pile of hay.
The specimen in the Mini Museum is composed of two special carbonaceous chondrites: Murchison and Jbilet Winselwan. Both of these meteorites are CM2 class carbonaceous chondrites, a class known to contain the highest density of amino acids.
