    took this discovery further suggesting that other rare earth metals might exist within ceria. By infusing nitric acid to cerium nitrate, Mosander, tested his belief. Consequently, some of the cerium nitrates bonded with the acid providing the results that he was looking for. Mosander separated the results using both sodium oxalate and heat, thus, making the first discovery of lanthanum in 1839. Lanthanum was first created in the pure metal form by H. Kremers and R.
