Discovering 3 million years old 'cosmic jade' in America

The material of 'cosmic jade' was derived from meteorite collisions and then fossilized by fossilized ancient boys in Florida.

Fossils dredged from a quarry in Sarasota County, Florida may contain 3 million-year-old remnant products of previously unknown meteorite collisions.

The mysterious jewels dating back to 3 million years make scientists call the "cosmic jewel" because it is so perfect that thanks to the ancient part boys.

Researchers have found dozens of other seeds often scattered around ancient shells and shells, each of which is a small, perfect sphere.

These particles are called microtektites , often formed by molten debris from cold meteorites and recrystallize after passing through the Earth's atmosphere. A special feature is that it also appears the ancient shells and oysters.

"It's really outstanding ," said Mike Meyer, who discovered microtektites in 2006 while attending college at the University of Southern Florida.

The 83 particles called ' cosmic jewels' are normally stored in a box for more than a decade before Meyer announced them.

According to the analysis, it could be the remnant of one or more meteor effects that occurred millions of years ago near Florida. Researchers say they are found in four different layers of quarries, each connected to a different time period.

The team suspects these objects are about 2 to 3 million years old. And unlike other effects, they contain large amounts of sodium - a material often lost when burned in the atmosphere.
