Analysis of samples from a massive meteorite reveals two minerals never before seen on our planet. Canadian researchers said the rock was found in rural Somalia two years ago, but locals believe it is much older. They call the stone Nightfall and say it is documented in poems, songs, and dances dating back five generations. It is used today to sharpen knives. The official names of the new minerals are elaliite and elkinstantonite. They were identified by scientists at the University of Alberta who examined a 70-gram fragment of the 15-ton meteorite, said to be the ninth largest to reach our planet and composed of approximately 90% iron and nickel.
