Meteorites: Optical Activity in Organic Matter

Meteorites: Optical Activity in Organic Matter

A low-amplitude, positive, Cotton effect, centered at about 340 millimicrons, has been observed in organic extracts of samples from ordinary (noncarbonaceous) chondrites. Ancillary evidence renders it likely that this optical activity derived from contamination by biologic materials on Earth.
