Hello Dave, Greg, and List,

Greg Shanos is the one who might be able to answer these interesting
questions [see also: SHANOS G. (1998) Murchison - The Forgotten
Meteorite (M!, Aug. 98, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 32-33)].
On Mon, 9 Nov 1998, Greg posted a comprehensive listing of all known
amino acids in the Murchison Meteorite as of 1990.

Best regards,

Bernd
