Many people think amino acids found in various meteorites are abiotic,
produced chemically by their parent bodies (asteroids).
That is not true. Take Murchison meteorite for example. It contains
not only excess of left-handed amino acids, but also fossilized
cyanobacteria and fat cells as shown below:

Biotic amino acids:
“More research found that some amino acids were present in
enantiomeric excess,...”
Enantiomeric excess can be produced only in biology, as non-life
method produces only racemic amino acids, which are even handed (50%
left handed, 50% right handed).
