The Murchison meteorite is a meteorite that fell in Australia in 1969 near Murchison, Victoria. It belongs to the carbonaceous chondrite class, a group of meteorites rich in organic compounds . Due to its mass (over 100 kg or 220 lb) and the fact that it was an observed fall , the Murchison meteorite is one of the most studied of all meteorites .
Presolar grains of the Murchison meteorite. In the 1960s, the noble gases neon [5] and xenon [6] were discovered to have unusual isotopic ratios in primitive meteorites; their origin and the type of matter that contained them was a mystery.
[67] [68] [69] The Murchison meteorite that fell near Murchison, Victoria, Australia in 1969 was found to contain an amino acid distribution remarkably similar to Miller-Urey discharge products. [27] Analysis of the organic fraction of the Murchison meteorite with Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry detected over 10,000 ...

His work at the ASU Center for Meteorite Studies, particularly with carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, positioned him as a leading figure in the field. [citation needed] Cronin's research explored the organic chemistry of meteorites, with a specific focus on carbonaceous chondrites like the Murchison meteorite. His work provided valuable ...
CM chondrites are a group of chondritic meteorites which resemble their type specimen, the Mighei meteorite. The CM is the most commonly recovered group of the ' carbonaceous chondrite ' class of meteorites, though all are rarer in collections than ordinary chondrites .
Dalgaranga crater is a small meteorite impact crater located on Dalgaranga pastoral station 75 km (47 mi) northwest of Mount Magnet (or north of Yalgoo) in Western Australia. It is only 24 m (79 ft) in diameter and 3 m (9.8 ft) deep, making it Australia's smallest impact crater (with exception of the smallest members of the Henbury crater field ).
