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.

Locality Notes from all Ages at Locality:
Age IDLocality Notes
Jen_0001200MAGMATIC STYLE: Major intrusions, pipes and necks. There are possibly carbonatitic extrusive rocks (N. Vladykin, pers. comm., 2007). Nepheline pyroxenite, jacupirangite, melteigite, ijolite, nepheline and peralkaline syenite, various metasomatic rocks, phoscorite and eruptive breccia.
Michelle_362Lena Coal Basin includes three major structures: Lena–Anabar and cis-Upper Yana basins and Vilyui syneclise. The coal varies from 700 m to 4000 m thick. Stepanovite occurs in thin veinlets in association with calcite, dolomite, whewellite, and weddellite.
Michelle_498Totovskoe B deposit occurs at the contact of Silurian-Devonian limestone and dolomite and Early Cretaceous quartz monzonite. Thickness ranges from 5 cm to 20 m and runs from 50 m to 1,000 m.
