Abstract
The possibility that the intricate "organized elements" found in some carbonaceous chondrites are to be interpreted, not as microfossils of once-living cells, but as organic-chemical analogues of similarly intricate snow crystals is raised; tests and implications are discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
