I'm pretty sure it's one of Silicon or Oxygen, thanks to stuff like Quartz.

Iron is the most abundant element in the earth's core, and source of the magnetic field.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (hydrogen and helium are 99% of everything)

The earth's crust though is neither of those things. 

Edison made two guesses, so I'll have to pick one for him.  Sand being heavier than air, I'll choose Silicon.

No, it's not silicon.

Oxygen is in quartz (ie sand) as I said, so I think your decision making is suspect, you evil cheating Kiwi you. I call fowl!

What are the two elements generally considered the most massive you can create via fusion?

Wait, we're all at totally the wrong part of the Periodic table - I think.

Nuclei higher than Iron are formed by neutron capture processes/ beta- decay chains, I believe.

So it should be any two of Iron, Cobalt, Nickel.
