Ever hear of "EDSCOTITE"? A rare form of iron carbide never found in nature before. From whence did it come?

It exists within the Wedderburn meteorite. What else is out there somewhere waiting to be discovered?

    Maybe it's a good thing we will never discover more elements Rosie.....I'm sure some of the things if found would be used more in making more distructive weaponry before put to better humane uses....

    I had never heard of it until now. After reading the article I found, it appears to be from the core of a planet the exploded who knows how long ago. It can be found in iron slag during the smelting process, but that is not naturally occurring. I imagine it can found in the core of our planet.
