--- Comment #1 from Billy Gogesch <billyg at pupfishdesign.com> ---
In Calzium 2.4.03 "miscellaneous" for Thorium:
This element was discovered in the year 1828. It was discovered by J J
Berzelius
Origin of the name:
Named after the German god of thunder: Thor.
----------------Correction---------------------
1. depending on definition of "discover", you may want to attribute discovery
to Morten Thrane Esmark, a Norwegian priest and amateur geologist who secured
the first mineral sample that he was not able to identify in 1828. Sometime
between 1828 and 1829 he sent it to his father, who then sent it to Berzelius
in Sweden, whom they recognized as the preeminent chemist of that time.
2. Thor is a Norse god, not German.
