speaking of meteorites:

Buddhist statue samples match space rocks in Chinga meteorite field

An iron Buddhist statue, brought by the Nazi party of Germany to 
Europe, was made from a meteorite that likely fell along the 
Mongolian and Siberian border 10,000 years ago, according to a study 
by a team of researchers including Elmar Bucher of Stuttgart 
University. An analysis of statue samples showed they closely match 
the known space rocks that scattered from the border's Chinga 
meteorite field. LiveScience.com (9/26)
