  • Giant, sunken pieces of an ancient continent from the time of the dinosaurs may have been discovered deep in the Indian Ocean, scientists say.The two fragments, called microcontinents, are possibly leftovers from when India, Antarctica, and Australia were part of a supercontinent known as Gondwana (see a map of Earth during this time.)
  • What the scientists found surprised them. Rather than the normal basalt rock of most seabeds, the scientists pulled up chunks of granite, gneiss, and sandstone—rocks normally found on continents. (See pictures of different types of rock.)
  • Some samples even contained fossils, said team member Joanne Whittaker, a marine geophysicist at the University of Sydney in Australia."It's quite clear that these two plateaus are little fragments of Gondwana left behind as India moved away from Australia," Whittaker said.

    I can't believe that they found chunks of granite, gneiss and sandstone which are supposed to be on continents :)

    That is amazing that scientists found pieces left over from Gondwana and chunks of granite, gneiss and sandstone which are only found on land. Cool! ;)
  • janelle woods on 24 Nov 11
     
    wow it is so how the scientist found the chucks of granite i wish that i could find stuff like that :)
  • Sydney Crowley on 24 Nov 11
     
    Thats cool sunken pieces of an anccient continent! i wonder if they can find any dinosour fossils
  • Megan Ehman on 26 Nov 11
     
    That is wierd that they found chunks of granite, gneiss, and sandstone. And that they found remains of a continent!
  • Kalie Broderick on 05 Dec 11
     
    That's awesome. Maybe they might find a NEW continent, or maybe one is going to build up!! That would be cool too!
  • Wyatt Hope on 05 Dec 11
     
    We would know if there is another continent because satellite photos from space

    good point but couldn't we see it from an airplane or a helicopter

Space "Egg," Meteorite Yield All-New Minerals - 3 views

  • Two new minerals that formed during the birth of our solar system have been found inside meteorites, new research shows.The new discoveries—krotite and wassonite—are particularly exciting for scientists, who have found only about 60 minerals that can be traced to the solar system's beginnings 4.5 billion years ago.
  • "By studying this mineral, we can understand a little bit more about the solar system," NASA's Nakamura-Messenger said. "Four-and-a-half billion years ago, there was a region that had the exact conditions to make this mineral."What's more, this may not be the only new mineral in the Yamato 691 meteorite."The wassonite was surrounded by a couple of other unknown mineral[s]," Nakamura-Messenger said.Likewise, another new mineral, called brearleyite, has been identified next to krotite, Caltech's Ma added—details to be revealed in August in American Mineralogist.

  • Kalie Broderick on 05 Dec 11
