On the other hand, there is an obscure Russian paper about asteroids.

Abstract—In this paper, we present the last results of the OLIMPIA experiment on the search forand study of traces of heavy and superheavy element nuclei of galactic cosmic rays in olivine crystalsfrom meteorites. The charge spectrum of cosmic rays in the region of heavy nuclei is obtained, threesuperheavy nuclei of natural origin with charges in the range 105 <Z<130 and lifetimes longerthan 3000 years, being a part of the so-called “stability island”,areidentified.DOI: 10.3103/S1068335615050073
- credit_guy 3y agoThis is fine, but nothing to do with the claim that 33 Polyhmnia has a very high density. The study you cite mention "traces". Traces of heavy elements can't change significantly the density of an asteroid.
