Early Solar System Material Found in Africa


CALIFORNIA - 4.5 billion year old meteorite which was found in northwest Africa contains a new mineral-forming solar system that has never encountered before.

Krotite is a type of mineral that has never been found before, according to Anthony Kampf, curator of the Mineral Sciences at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles County. Similarly, as quoted by Pravda on Wednesday (05/11/2011).

"This mineral is not known before until finally we find. This is pretty dramatic," said Kampf

Meteorites that carry minerals Krotite is carbonaceous Chondrite CV3 NWA 1934. This meteorite is the former of the initial elements that form planets.

This mineral forms of calcium, aluminum and oxygen. To establish the required temperature minerals 1500 degrees Celsius. This has led to allegations that these minerals formed at the beginning of the birth of the solar system, when the mist nebulae and planets began to form.
