Molecular Asymmetry in Prebiotic Chemistry: An Account from Meteorites
Life, 2016 Carbonaceous Chondrite (CC) meteorites are fragments of asteroids, solar planetesimals that never became large enough to separate matter by their density, like terrestrial planets.

The Nitrogen Heterocycle Content of Meteorites and Their Significance for the Origin of Life
Life, 2018 Carbonaceous chondrites are very primitive meteorites that are rich in carbon. They contain many soluble organic compounds, including nitrogen heterocycles.

, 2017 Meteorites contain minerals from Solar System asteroids with different properties (like size, presence of water, core formation). We provide new mid-IR transmission spectra of powdered meteorites to obtain templates of how mid-IR spectra of asteroidal ...

The collisional evolution of undifferentiated asteroids and the formation of chondritic meteoroids [PDF]
, 2016 Most meteorites are fragments from recent collisions experienced in the asteroid belt. In such a hyper-velocity collision, the smaller collision partner is destroyed, whereas a crater on the asteroid is formed or it is entirely disrupted, too.

Variations in the Magnetic Properties of Meteoritic Cloudy Zone
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Iron and stony‐iron meteorites form the Widmanstätten pattern during slow cooling. This pattern is composed of several microstructures whose length‐scale, composition and magnetic properties are dependent upon cooling rate.

Multiple carriers of Q noble gases in primitive meteorites [PDF]
, 2015 The main carrier of primordial heavy noble gases in chondrites is thought to be an organic phase, known as phase Q, whose precise characterization has resisted decades of investigation.
