GRID!! Carbonaceous Chondrite Sheet CV3, NWA 13569 with CAIs (oldest substance in the Solar System) Only 25 grams classified - 85.6 g
Beautiful piece of Carbonaceous Chondrite in which you can see the chondrules, original cortex of the meteorite and CAI.
Carbonaceous chondrites contain amino acids and water in their composition, being perhaps the most scientifically amazing meteorites that we can have in our hands, since the latest studies indicate that they were the ones that planted, with their amino acids and high carbon content, Life on earth
CAIs (Calcium-Aluminum) are the oldest substances in the Solar System.
They are very rare, barely representing 4. 8% of the meteorites found, so they rarely go on sale.
Chondrites are the oldest materials in the solar system, with an estimated age of formation of 4. 55 billion years.
The characteristic of chondrites is the presence of chondrules, small balls measuring millimeters in size, largely composed of silicates.
The standard model for their initial formation is that they occur during the condensation of the solar nebula, from cosmic dust.
Chondrites are considered the first elements from which planets form.
