JMDMT #908 Microfossils of Cyanobacteria in Carbonaceous Meteorites
The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection -organized elements, in our opinion, can be readily distinguished from the fluorescence of the mineral matter. It is, of course, possible to select the right combination of filters to exclude the bluish-white fluorescence from the yellowish-green or pink fluorescent light. Several of the type 1 organized elements were found to fluoresce with greenish-yellow light, contrary to the argument of Fitch and Anders (1963). Fitch and Anders also claimed that pink colored fluorescence Claus et al.: "Organized Elements" in Chondrites 595 of organized elements is not a true fluorescence. They suggested that bire- fringent particles may appear red when viewed with ultraviolet light in the fluorescent microscope. The reason for this could be that the usual filters
