Elusive Elements Chemistry Word Search

Full names of the first 103 elements can be found amongst these letters. The names appear in all directions, and sometimes even within other words. One element appears 6 times. An isotope of hydrogen, a farm animal and a country in Eastern Europe also appear in the puzzle!

I first got this when I was in Chemistry class one year in high school. I have no idea who the original author is!
