Question

Carbonaceous meteorites are believed to come from?

1) the crust of a differentiated C type asteroid, now broken up.
2) a broken up cometary nucleus, dark like Comet Halley's nucleus.
3) deep space, far beyond the solar system, hence their very low density.
4) the core of a differentiated type M asteroid, now broken up.
5) coal formed on Mars, then blown into space by asteroid impacts.

Answer 1

Carbonaceous meteorites come from the crust of a differentiated C type asteroid and contain carbon and complex organic molecules.

Carbonaceous meteorites are believed to come from the crust of a differentiated C type asteroid.

These meteorites contain carbon and various complex organic molecules, which are the building blocks of life on Earth.

They are concentrated in the outer part of the asteroid belt.
