Application of Isoleucine Epimerization to Assess Terrestrial Contamination and Constrain the Duration and Effects of Aqueous Alteration of Carbonaceous Chondrite Meteorites

abstract: Carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) present a unique opportunity for learning about the earliest organic chemistry that took place in our Solar System. The complex and diverse suite of meteoritic organic material is the result of multiple settings and physicochemical processes, including aqueous...
