[Rockhounds] Two Alien Minerals Unknown to Earth Found in Meteorite

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Geologists have recently discovered two alien minerals unknown to Earth in
a meteorite in Somalia. A small, 2.5 ounce (70-gram) fragment of the
fifteen thousand kilogram fallen comet known as El Ali revealed the alien
ore.

Scientists stumbled upon the unknown mineral in the meteorite while
sampling a slice. It was only after analyzing the segment in a lab that
they realized they had discovered something completely new.
Herd named one of the alien deposits ‘elaliite’ after the El Ali meteorite.
The other he termed ‘elkinstantonite’ after Professor Lindy Elkins-Tanto,
the vice president of the Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State
University. Elkins-Tanton is also the chief investigator of what they call
the ‘Psyche’ mission, part of the NASA operation to reach the Asteroid
Psyche 16 by 2023.
