AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Murchison is one of the most fascinating, coveted, and hard-to-find meteorites.
Scientists have discovered stardust that formed between 5 and 7 billion years ago. “These are the oldest solid materials ever found, and they tell us how stars formed in our galaxy.”
The tiny “star fragments” analyzed come from a star that was born about 7 billion years ago during a period of intense star formation. The material ejected by the star first wandered through interstellar space and later became buried inside a rock body, where it was preserved intact for billions of years.
That rock entered our atmosphere and broke apart into all the fragments of the Murchison meteorite that fell over Australia in 1969.
Finding these compounds marks a milestone, for most of the stardust that ends up deposited in meteorites is destroyed by pressure. Only around 5% of known meteorites contain material of this kind, and its abundance typically does not exceed a few parts per million.
It is one of the most famous and studied falls of carbonaceous chondrite.
Carbonaceous chondrites account for about 4% of all meteorites.
At Expometeoritos, we handle outreach, talks, workshops, analyses, classification, and exhibitions of meteorites.
All our pieces are certified and we also provide the chemical composition analysis if the piece’s value exceeds €300, performed at our facilities by X-ray Spectroscopy.
