Reply to comment by Setepenre in Somalia meteorite: Joy as scientists find two new minerals by miso25
They named the minerals after the region in Somalia, so there’s props. But what is crazy to me is that both minerals were “discovered” when they were synthesized in a french lab 40 years ago. I guess they cant call them “minerals” if they aren’t naturally occurring so the spectacular part of this story is how they found what were previously only known as 2 completely random, man made compounds that have existed for eons in this meteor!
