"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."

"Whenever you find a new mineral, it means that the actual geological conditions, the chemistry of the rock, was different than what's been found before," Chris Herd, a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta, said in a statement"

Aside from its ungrammaticality, the above statement contains the greatest insight I've seen penetrated for many a nanosecond.

PREMISE = CONCLUSION!!!!

If it was not gold or platinum or at least silver, it has no value on earth.

> taken from the 16.5 ton (15 metric tons) El Ali meteorite, which crashed to Earth in 2020.

Huh. You'd think if a 16.5 TON meteorite fell to Earth in 2020, someone would have noticed. No, this thing was found by scientists in 2020. It's been there for ages.

Though considering that it was found in Somalia, perhaps a 16.5 ton impact there in 2020 would not have been all bad.
