Different planets and different locations will literally have unique and amazing geology that's nothing like what's on Earth. Mars Geology is going to be fascinating. Plut Geology will be incredible.

Gilt "Wer's gefunden hat, der darf's behalten" (und an die meistbietenden verkaufen) auch für 15 Tonnen schwere #Meteoriten, in denen bislang schon mindestens zwei bisher unbekannte #Mineralien nachgewiesen wurden?

Elk-instant? Or Elkin-Stanton…. #cryptonite #mineral #somalia #meteorite https://science.slashdot.org/story/22/11/30/0435239/two-minerals-never-before-been-seen-on-earth-found-inside-17-ton-meteorite

Researchers at Canada’s University of Alberta found two new minerals that have never been seen on Earth before in a 15-tonne meteorite found in Somalia.
The new minerals, named #Elaliite & #Elkinstantonite, were discovered in a 70-gram piece of the meteorite that was sent to Canada for classification. #Science
