Allende CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite meteorite


Left over from the act of Creation? From the collection, here is a thin-slice microscopic slide of the Allende CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite meteorite. It is one of the oldest known physical objects in the Universe ... and, supposedly, been in existence from a time before planet earth was formed in our solar system. It contains elements not found anywhere on earth.

I personally subscribe to the Biblical account of Creation, through the first book of Moses in our Holy Bible: Genesis. I don't know how that affects the current view of this Allende meteorite -- whether Genesis supports it as created before earth or not. But, when in doubt, I turn to the Bible first.
