[meteorite-list] Signs of life uncovered inside meteorite found in western Turkey

[pmodreski at aol.com]

A good abstract, but "signs of life" isn't an appropriate title to describe it, as amino acids can be formed by non-biologic processes, as has been the interpretation of those previously reported from carbonaceous chondrites.

Joint Turkish and NASA study which indicates that "Even  at  trace  levels,  the large  mass  of  L6  chondrite material  delivered  to  the  Earth  suggest  that  L  chondrites  could  have  been  a  significant  source  of  amino acids for Earth and other planets in the solar system.
