One of Earliest Minerals Formed in Solar system Got Krotite? In the May-June issue of the journal American Mineralogist, a team of scientists announced the discovery of the new mineral krotite,
one of the earliest minerals formed in our solar system. It is the main component of an unusual inclusion embedded in a meteorite (NWA 1934),
found in northwest Africa. These objects, known as refractory inclusions, are thought to be the first planetary materials formed in our solar system,
dating back to before the formation of Earth and the other planets#This particular grain is known affectionately as Cracked Egg#for its distinctive appearance.
Dr. Harold C. Connolly Jr. and student Stuart A. Sweeney Smith at the City university of New york (CUNY) and the American Museum of Natural history (AMNH) first recognized the grain to be of a very special type, known as a calcium-aluminum
which attests to their likely formation as very primitive, high-temperature condensates from the solar nebula.)
Such investigations are essential in deciphering the origins of our solar system. The creation of the human-made compound requires temperature of at least 1, 500°C (2, 732°F). This,
coupled with the fact that the compound forms at low pressure, is consistent with krotite forming as a refractory phase from the solar nebula.
Therefore, the likelihood is that krotite is one of the first minerals formed in our solar system.
Krotite is named for Alexander N. Krot, a cosmochemist at the University of Hawaii, in recognition of his significant contributions to the understanding of early solar system processes.
