Contamination from terrestrial sources has always been the bottom line for
so-called meteorite fossils. For example, Orgueil was supposedly kept in a
drawer with coal samples for 50 years. Even though a "pristine" sample of
Murchison was kept under vacuum for 2 years after recovery, the organic
chemists found considerable terrestrial contamination, etc., etc.

Be patient with this "new discovery".
