Scientific paper

The meteorites called carbonaceous chondrites are believed to be unaltered material left over from the formation of the solar system. They contain substantial amounts of reduced carbon and of water in the form of hydroxyl ions. The oxidation state of iron in some carbonaceous chondrites has been determined by means of Moessbauer spectroscopy, and it is demonstrated that there is a correlation between the oxidation state of iron and the content of water and reduced carbon in the meteorites. Possible consequences of this fact for the origin of water and reduced carbon on the earth are discussed.
