Researchers discover two new minerals on meteorite grounded in Somalia

Phenomenal' finds are named elaliite and elkinstantonite, and Canadian scientists are analysing third mineral

A team of researchers in Canada say they have discovered two new minerals - and potentially a third - after analysing a slice of a 15-tonne meteorite that landed in east Africa.

The meteorite, the ninth largest recorded at over 2 metres wide, was unearthed in Somalia in 2020, although local camel herders say it was well known to them for generations and named Nightfall in their songs and poems.
