(meteorobs) Meteorite

[stange]

Last time I checked(long ago), there were 103 elements plus their isotopes 
identified. I have never heard of a new element being found from an 
extra-terrestrial source. If memory is correct, the last of these elements 
Noabellium(sp?) have short half life's which would suggest that heavier 
elements even if they existed, would decay before we could identify them. 
Again, I am dealing with memories from 40 years ago.
