"Therefore, this likely implies that carbonaceous chondrite organics were formed through chemical reactions in the early Solar System, rather than having been inherited from the interstellar medium."
The information compiled on ordinary chondrites indicates that these meteorites originate from small asteroids which, with a diameter of less than a few hundred kilometres, collided, giving rise to these rocks millions of years ago.
Amino acids themselves are formed by all sorts of abiotic reactions (as witness their presence in things like carbonaceous chondrite meteorite fragments).
The reflectance spectrum was rather featureless and of an unusually low slope, consistent with the object's being similar to a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite of type CO or CV.
[1] infer an initial [sup.36]Cl/[sup.35]Cl ratio of > 1.6 x [10.sup.-4] in sodalite from the carbonaceous chondrite Ningqiang based on Al-Mg systematics.
