Helium is found in large amounts in minerals of uranium and thorium, including uraninite and its varieties cleveite and pitchblende, [20] [137] carnotite and monazite (a group name; "monazite" usually refers to monazite-(Ce)), [138] [139] because they emit alpha particles (helium nuclei, He 2+) to which electrons immediately combine as soon as ...
No helium in natural gas had been discovered prior to that time, although it had been found in 1894 that helium existed on the earth, and might be extracted in small quantities from the atmosphere and from minerals. Cady was a consultant when helium reserves were later found in Texas and Colorado.
Demarçay found spectral lines of a new element in Lecoq's samarium, and separated this element several years later. [149] 36 Krypton: 1898 W. Ramsay and W. Travers: 1898 W. Ramsay and W. Travers: On May 30, 1898, Ramsay separated a noble gas from liquid argon by difference in boiling point. [150] 10 Neon: 1898 W. Ramsay and W. Travers 1898

The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago, [7] [8] [9] during the Eoarchean Era, after a geological crust started to solidify following the earlier molten Hadean eon. There are microbial mat fossils such as stromatolites found in 3.48 billion-year-old sandstone discovered in Western Australia.
