Oxide boisbaudran also discovered gallium in 1875 and isolated samarium for the first time in 1879 using fractional. separationaturally occurring dysprosium is a mixture of seven isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 156 Dy (0.06%), 158 Dy (0.1%), 160 Dy (2.3%), 161 Dy (18.9%), 162 Dy (25.5%), 163 Dy (24.9%) and 164 Dy (28.2%). The most abundant isotope is 164 Dy at 28.2%.
