A team of researchers discovered minerals they say have never been seen before on Earth.
, the team found at least two such minerals in a 15-tonne meteorite, the ninth largest meteorite ever found, in Somalia.
The team said the minerals found came from a single 70-gram slice that was sent to the university for classification and may reveal clues to asteroid formation.Herd said the first was named after the meteorite itself, dubbed the “El Ali” meteorite, because it was found near the town of El Ali, in the Hiiraan region of Somalia.
“Lindy has done a lot of work on how the cores of planets form, how iron-nickel cores form, and the closest analog we have are iron meteorites,” Herd said. “It made sense to name a mineral after her.”
