The ultimate deep-space time capsule, this small black rock plummeted from space carrying organic material dating back 4.5 billion years. Much of the meteorite remains frozen in the Royal Ontario Museums vaults for research, but a sizable piece is on display in the Teck Suite of Galleries: Earths Treasure and is one of the Museums iconic treasures.
