What observation led Marie Curie to discover radium and polonium?

Marie Curie observed that some minerals that contained uranium gave off more radioactivity than pure uranium. Believing that these minerals contained small amounts of other, highly radioactive elements, she began to experiment. Eventually, she discovered the elements which she named radium and polonium.
