In 1893, Maussanite first discovered naturally occurring forms of silicon carbide in meteorites from Arizona, and in 1905, this material was named Maussanite. But Dr. Mosan's discovery was initially questioned because his sample may have been contaminated by silicon carbide saw blades that were already on the market at the time
Silicon carbide is rare on Earth, but common in space. The discovery of silicon carbide in space and meteorites is mostly - SiC. The analysis of SiC particles found in the Murchison meteorite shows an abnormal ratio of carbon and silicon isotopes, indicating that these particles originated outside the solar system.
