Mineral Evolution Database

Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.

Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org

The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

"Judging by the excellent quality and high potassium content of the Søve biotite, we believe that our measurement of 565 million years is close to the true age of the Fen intrusion. Our number might be lower than the true age, but not higher."
