MURCHISON meteorite CM2, No reservation!!!!! - 0.04 g
Murchison is one of the most fascinating, coveted, and difficult to find meteorites.
Scientists have discovered stardust that originated between 5,000 and 7,000 million 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 expelled by the star first wandered alone through interstellar space and then became buried inside a rocky body, where it remained intact for billions of years.
That rock entered our atmosphere and broke up into all the fragments of the Murchison meteorite that fell over Australia in 1969.
Finding these compounds is a milestone, as most of the stardust that remains deposited in meteorites is destroyed by pressure. Only about 5% of known meteorites contain this type of material, and its abundance rarely exceeds a few parts per million.
It is one of the most famous and studied falls of a carbonaceous chondrite.
Carbonaceous chondrites comprise about 4% of all meteorites.
At Expometeoritos, we are in charge of the dissemination, talks, workshops, analysis, classification and exhibitions of Meteorites.
All our parts are certified and we also provide an analysis of the chemical composition if the value of the part exceeds €300, carried out in our facilities using X-ray spectrography.
