Taiwan 08/16/2011 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Amino acids in meteorites are remains of life Many people think amino acids found in various meteorites are abiotic, produced chemically by their parent bodies (asteroids). That is not true. Take Murchison meteorite for example. It contains not only excess of left-handed amino acids, but also fossilized cyanobacteria and fat cells as shown below: Images of fossilized cyanobacteria: 1.
