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. [2]
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 .
The Murchison meteorite is on display at the Smithsonian's NMNH. The Murchison meteorite has been thoroughly studied; it fell in Australia close to the town that bears its name on 28 September 1969. It is a CM2 and it contains common amino acids such as glycine , alanine and glutamic acid as well as other less common ones such as isovaline and ...
The exact worth of a meteorite varies depending on the specific type of meteorite in question. An 82-pound iron meteorite originating from an asteroid recently sold for $44,100 — about $540 per ...

The meteorite type is similar to that of the 1969 Murchison meteorite in Australia. Unlike Murchison, Sutter's Mill shows clear brecciation: fragments of CM lithologies with different aqueous alteration and thermal processing histories are embedded in a fine grained CM matrix material. The Sutter's Mill meteorite originated from near the ...

The Jbilet Winselwan meteorite is a CM-type carbonaceous chondrite found in Western Sahara in 2013. [1] It is notable for having a low shock stage and weathering grade with a large total known weight. Thus, it provides a large amount of relatively pristine material without the cost premium associated with meteorite falls.
