In Situ Coordinated Analysis of Carbonaceous Chondrite Organic MatterMicroanalytical studies of carbonaceous chondrites (CC’s) have identified a vast array of isotopically, chemically and texturally distinct organic components. These components were synthesized and processed within a range of physical and chemical environments, including the interstellar medium, the solar nebula and within asteroids. The nature and abundance of these molecules can be used to unravel the geochemical and isotopic record of their origins as well as their subsequent evolutionary journey.
