	Murchison's Amino Acids: Tainted Evidence? :: Astrobiology Magazine :: Search for Life in the Universe
		The Murchison meteorite, which fell about 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) north of Melbourne, Australia, in 1969, is one of the world's most closely studied carbonaceous chondrites.
		They found that Murchison had neither the complete dominance of left-handed amino acids found on Earth nor the racemic mixture expected, on the basis of laboratory experiments, for materials formed in space.
		Engel and colleagues interpreted their results as showing that the extraterrestrial material in Murchison was not racemic, but had a different mixture of the left- and right-handed forms than materials found on Earth.
