First image of 4000X Haversian canal/blood vessel remains in
meteorite

Figure 1 below is marked for fossilized remains of a Haversian canal,
two blood vessels and two mammalian red blood cells found in Meteorite
4. It could be the first time such organic objects are clearly
magnified to 4000X.

Can you tell us, why you think it's a haversian canal and not any of
billions of other options that make infinitely more sense?
It actually looks a lot like a small lump of green putty I found in my
armpit one midsummer morning. Just look at the color!

I have relabelled two Haversian canal remains in the following figure.
I trust this will clear things up if you have ever studied anatomy in
college. However, one thing to note:
The osteon structures inside meteorites are very different from
osteons of fossils buried in Earth/Mars in that some osteocyte lacunae
could be lost due to compaction, etc. For some unknown reason,
meteorites sometimes show densely packed Haversian canal structures as
shown in the following figure:
