The James M. DuPont Meteorite Collection - as well as size distribu- tion of organisms, follow a Gausian distribution curve. "Organized elements" follow the same pattern. F. W. Fitch (Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, Chicago, III.) : According to Fitch, many different kinds of particles described in Orgueil me- teorite preparations have been called "organized elements." In his opinion, one deals with a heterogeneous population of objects which can be divided into two general classes — particles having a simple appearance and particles having highly structured morphology. The rather featureless objects are numerous but seem to have no specific properties indicating biological origin. Particles having complex morphology are quite rare and some may have a biological origin. However, there is no proof that they are not terrestrial contaminants.
