Purines, amino derivatives of sym-triazine, and substituted guanidines isolated from the Orgueil meteorite were identified by chromatographic, spectroscopic, and other techniques. The presence of large amounts of sym-triazine derivatives is of particular interest, because these compounds have no known biochemical significance.
