SEDONA, Ariz. - ColoradoDesk -- Carbonaceous Chondrites are meteorites that contain organic material, or the stuff of life. Have you ever wondered what that looks like?
"We did, so when we got our hands on a couple of them, it was off to the stone saw, and then under the full color digital microscope to find out what that looked like," according to Mark Zamoyski, the museum's curator.
"Carbonaceous chondrites formed 4.5 billion years ago in our early solar system from supernova ejecta, and it appears in part from other planetary ejecta."
"We never expected to find as much as we found. The photos speak for themselves and we are just getting started. We will continue to post photos of interest as time allows," Mr. Zamoyski concluded.
