Thanks Ernest.
Geologist Matt Joeckel displays a core sample of carbonatite rock containing niobium and rare-earth elements, which was taken from a deposit near Elk Creek, Neb., in early February.
How long before Zero signs an executive order turning the deposits into a national park?

I think this is pretty cool. Rare Earths are supposed to be found in pegmatites. I suspect that much will be discovered in the Rockies.
