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.
This mineral is using an age reported as an element mineralization period.
O
This mineral is using an age calculated from all data at the locality.
R
The age displayed for this mineral originates from a different, non-child locality.
P
The age displayed for this mineral is the range of ages for this mineral at all of this locality's children.
This mineral's age has not yet been recorded.
This Mineral list contains entries from this locality, including sub-localities. Minerals in bold are reported by mindat.org as occurring directly at this locality, and do not occur at any children (sublocalities) of this locality.Elements at this locality, including sub-localities: AlAsAuBBeBiCCaCeCrCuFFeHKLiMgMnMoNaNbOPPbSSiTaThTiUVWYZnZrElements from minerals reported directly at this locality: Al Fe H Mg O Si Structural Groups for minerals in this locality:
Locality is characterized by the voluminous intrusions of the Moorarie Supersuite (Minnie Creek Batholith, ca. 1820–1770 Ma) that have undergone deformation and low-grade metamorphism during the Capricorn Orogeny. Two types of molybdenum mineralization are recognized. An earlier intrusion related, disseminated molybdenite found within alkali granites. The second molybdenite enrichment is hosted within quartz-rich veinlets reflecting remobilisation of molybdenite associated with Neoproterozoic faulting.
