Famous site where an important carbonaceous chondrite fell.

Class: CM2 Carbonaceous Chondrite.
Comparable to the Aguas Zarcas meteorite.

Before noon on September 28, 1969 a fireball was seen which split into three pieces. In its wake a cloud of smoke was seen, tremors were heard, and β€” in time β€” over a 100 kg of scattered stones were recovered. Murchison has been classified as a CM2 (Mighei-like) Carbonaceous Chondrite. The CM2 Carbonaceous Chondrites are characterized by small chondrules, abundant matrix, hydrated minerals, and refractory inclusions. All recovered CM falls are of petrologic Type 2 which are further characterized by their Ni-bearing sulfides. Murchison is the largest of the 15 recovered CM falls β€” and its availability has led to a spate of discoveries.

Among the more prominent discoveries have been the first identification of naturally produced amino acids in meteorites and a number of small inclusions with presolar gases [Gases, identified by their wildly exotic isotopic compositions, formed in ancient stars which were later incorporated into the solar nebula].

Mineralization age: Prenephelean (Presolar) : 7000 Ma to Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
