It was studied by Professor Chris Herd of the University of Alberta in Canada, he discovered in said sample two new minerals that he has called elaliite and elkinstonite.
The first name assigned is in honor of the meteorite and the second is in honor of Professor Lindy Elkins-Tanton, who in addition to being vice president of the interplanetary initiative at Arizona State University is the principal investigator of the Psyche mission to explore the great asteroid Psyche which is a metal rich asteroid this asteroid orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is believed to be the core of an ancient protoplanet it is basically a block of metal.
It is said that it contains more gold than all the gold that exists on earth, more iron and more metals than humans have extracted throughout the history of humanity, this NASA mission will be launched in the next years; and it will surely have interesting results in the world of asteroids because asteroids can be a danger, but they can also be a great opportunity to obtain resources for humanity in the future.
