"Scientists studying a collection of 35 meteorites that landed in Morocco in 2012 say that a strange green rock among the group is likely from Mercury, Space.com reports.
If they are correct, Meteorite NWA 7325 is the first known chunk of Mercury to be identified on Earth.
Magnetic intensity is shared by rocks and the planet they originate from.
NWA 7325 has a lower magnetic intensity than other space rocks scientists have seen, Anthony Irving, a meteorite scientist from the University of Washington said at the 44th annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in the Woodlands, Texas, this month, according to Space.com.
The meteorite's magnetic intensity most closely matches the low magnetism found on Mercury, which Nasa's Messenger spacecraft has measured, Irving said.
Furthermore, the space rock has a low iron content, and scientists believe Mercury's surface is also low in iron.
The green meteorite and the other space rocks it was found with are about 4.56 billion years old, Irving said."

"Pope Francis delivered a plea for peace in his first Easter Sunday message to the world, decrying the seemingly endless conflicts in the Middle East and on the Korean peninsula after celebrating Mass at an outdoor altar before more than 250,000 people in flower-bedecked St. Peter's Square.
Francis shared in his flock's exuberance as they celebrated Christianity's core belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead following crucifixion. After Mass, he stepped aboard an open-topped white popemobile for a cheerful spin through the joyous crowd, kissing babies and patting children on the head."
