Today, molybdenum is one of the most common trace elements in the ocean due to oxidative weathering of #Molybdenite. But in the Archean the oceans were reducing, and molybdenum was scarce.
Other nitrogenases evolved to use other transition elements, but Mo-nitrogenase was first, and best.
Molybdenite enables the Earth's biosphere!

#Molybdenite is the primary host for the element molybdenum in the Earth's crust.
Molybdenum is part of the most effective biological molecule for nitrogen fixation (Mo-nitrogenase), which converts atmospheric N2 to a bio-available form.
The grey sphere is Mo; this complex molecule likely evolved more than 3.2 billion years ago.
