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.

Age IDLocality Notes
Giersdorf_00000545One of several Uranium and Radium prospects in the Arkaroola area of Australia
Michelle_000854Guano rich cave in dolomite. Mineralization occurs in crusts associated with Ghost Bat guano deposits. Groundwater has likely penetrated the cave in the past.
