Good job earth! Create those elements.

Now we just need to stir the pot a litle.

Maybe cause a few volcanos to get access to more of those elements.

There were NO elements in the Big Bang, which makes me question the scientific literacy of the reporting. (It took 380,000 years after the Big Bang to cool enough to allow matter to cool enough for protons to capture electrons to become Hydrogen atoms.)

The article doesn't give any information on the amount. Individual atoms could be created by slamming an alpha particle into a lighter element to create a heavier one, but that wouldn't create millions of tons of heavier elements.

Also the article swtiches between elements lighter than iron and heavier. If this were a significant producer of heavy elements I would expect it to happen inside stars in detectable quantities. Instead you get up to iron and stop.

"These nuclei could be confined within the natural aragonite lattice core of the Earth’s lower mantle at high temperatures and pressures during lithosphere subduction, which occurs when two tectonic plates converge."

This boils down to a type of "cold fusion" (aka LENR).

There are gold veins deposited in shield regions. This suggests they can only have extraterrestrial origins.

Red dwarf stars would be a lot brighter if it was this easy for fusion to happen. Jupiter would be a star. Nice try but no.

So planets without plate tectonics are not dynamic and these elements are not in great enough abumndance to support life forms of greater complecity?
