Golden Showers in Greenland

Scientists say rocks from Greenland prove that precious metals, such as gold, were deposited in the Earth’s crust by asteroid showers billions of years ago.
The researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK say their experiments with material from Isua, southwest Greenland, provide evidence of a meteor bombardment some 3.9 billion years ago which laced the planet’s crust with tons of dead-star residues, forming gold, platinum, nickel and tungsten.
