Preliminary SEM/EDAX studies of the Tissint meteorite shows projections of
interior spherical globules rich in C and O. Such concentrations of carbonaceous material in
a matrix of mineral grains poses a mystery if biological processes are excluded. They are
consistent with remnants of biological structures, thus supporting earlier similar claims for
the Mars meteorite ALH84001
