Excellent, always good to know that we are following the strictest scientific method in these things.

Dross is a complete oversight – I have before me a piece of dross, forced out the sweaty hands of a Red Sea Pedestrian in the Holy Land – and why it is not included, I have no idea.

You can hardly be expected to complete the entire periodic table in a preliminary manuscript! My advice is to persevere, and I am sure that God will inspire you to the fruition of this magnificent project.

Papers from 1904 show that testing had been done on it here at Landover! Whether it should be categorized as Earth or Water is another matter. The argument for Earth is pretty strong - it looks like Earth. Against, it also looks like someone poured it all over the place and it set, so it might be Water with an absence of Fire. I include a picture.

Interesting. Dross is a particularly puzzling element to me, since Proverbs 26:23 presents us with a variant, "silver dross." Is this just an isotope of dross? A separate element entirely? An alloy perhaps? Puzzling questions, indeed, especially for someone like me, who has studied very little Biblical chemistry (though your post has inspired me to crack open the KJV1611 and brush up on the subject).
And don't get me started on the subject of whitewash (Ezekiel 13:11).
