The minerals were found inside a slice of the El Ali meteorite, which was discovered in Somalia in 2020.
as an Iron IAB complex meteorite, a type made of meteoric iron flecked with tiny chunks of silicates. While investigating the meteorite slice, details of the new minerals caught the scientists' attention. By comparing the minerals with versions of them that had been previously synthesized in a lab, they were able to rapidly identify them as newly recorded in nature. further in order to understand the conditions under which their parent asteroid formed.
"That's my expertise — how you tease out the geologic processes and the geologic history of the asteroid this rock was once part of," Herd said."I never thought I'd be involved in describing brand new minerals just by virtue of working on a meteorite."However, future scientific insights from the El Ali meteorite could be in peril.
