Created by clumped dust 4.6b years ago when the solar system was being formed.... but it hasn't been part of a larger body, so it is not that compressed, so it is not a chunk of another larger body that split off from collisions.

It contains organic material, which means the dust that formed our solar system, contained plenty of it.

If it arrived yesterday in earth, it still is 4.6b old.

"Identifying organic compounds would support the idea that early meteorites carried amino acids – the building blocks of life – to supply the Earth’s primordial soup where life first began.

“Carbonaceous chondrites contain organic compounds including amino acids, which are found in all living things,” said Director of Astrochemistry at EAARO Derek Robson who found the meteorite and who will soon join Loughborough University as an academic visitor for collaborative research.

“Being able to identify and confirm the presence of such compounds from a material that existed before the Earth was born would be an important step towards understanding how life began.”"
