Here, we present the results concerning the adsorption and detection of the adenine nucleic based on a series of minerals including clay and meteorite.
To examine microbial responses, we inoculated these solutions and wet carbonaceous chondrite meteorites with microorganisms.
Collisional break-up can reset the exposure ages for some meteorites, and produce 'double exposure ' or other complexities for others.
Various chondrite meteorites (by far the most common type) show all stages of partial melting from mild to almost completely vaporized.
Common types of meteorites from deserts, and data pertaining to them, are tabulated according to areas.
Chondrules are millimeter-sized pieces of previously molten matter embedded in chondrite-type meteorites.
Dynamical chemical and isotopic evidence regarding the formation locations of asteroids and meteorites.
These are also the fluffy, low-density grains that in larger sizes do not survive passage through the atmosphere to be collected as meteorites.
