There is certain class of this type of meteorite that has been shown to contain structures that resemble fossilized bacteria and some larger structures of more complex nature, but the subject is still hotly debated and considered as unproven at best. These meteorites are very ancient and are thought to have been in existence during the creation of the solar system. They are made up of tiny grains that have fused together in space at high temperatures, so the likelyhood of them containing bacteria is very remote indeed.

What are chondrites?

A common type of meteorite that contains chondrules. Chondrites come from asteroids that did not melt when formed and are designated as H, L, LL, E, or C depending on chemical compositions. The H, L, and LL types are called ordinary chondrites. The L chondrites are composed of silicate minerals (mostly olivine and pyroxene, but feldspar as well), metallic nickel-iron, and iron sulfide (called troilite). Most L chondrites are severely shocked-damaged, probably by a large impact on the asteroid in which they formed. The C (or carbonaceous) chondrites are the most primitive meteorites. They contain water-bearing minerals and carbon compounds including a variety of organic molecules such as amino acids.For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.


What are the moons of mars made of?

They seem to be similar to C type asteroids or carbonaceous chondrites. That means they're made of rocky materials that never got hot enough to melt and differentiate. Phobos, at least, seems rather light for its size, indicating that it may contain a substantial proportion of ices as well.

Definition of a carbonaceous film fossil?

Carbonaceous film fossils are traces of plants or animals preserved as a thin film of carbon. All living organisms contain carbon. If they are compressed by layers of sediment fine details of the organism may be preserved. See http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~pgore/geology/historical_lab/preservationlab.php
