Metallurgical results of the Buga sphere presented at a scientific conference in CDMX.
The name of the university was not released during the presentation due to the massive blowback the University of Georgia received for their carbon-14 results.
The nutritional information on the side of my Cornflakes are more exotic than this.

Cerium: 0.0012%
Lanthanum: 0.000675%
Neodymium: 0.00035%
Praseodymium: 0.000105%
Because Cerium is roughly 2x Lanthanum, and Neodymium is roughly 1/3 of Cerium, these are the exact geological ratios found in Mischmetal. Mischmetal is a raw alloy of rare earth elements derived naturally from Monazite sand. It is not an engineered isotope ratio from another star system, it’s the ratio found in Earth’s crust. Very terrestrial.
These are added to aluminium casting alloys (specifically piston alloys and high-temp conductors) to improve fluidity during casting, increase heat resistance, and modify grain structure.
