The Only Mercury Meteorite on Earth

What you’re looking at  [if you’re looking at the photo above] is what scientists believe to be is the only meteorite from Mercury on our planet.

How can they tell? The rock’s magnetism matches that of Mercury perfectly. It also has high amounts of magnesium and chromium but a low amount of iron, which is apparently what scientists would expect from a chip off of Mercury.

Don’t you love stuff like this?
