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.

	Lucy_085	239	211	225 ± 14	K/Ar	Extruded during Dibunophyllure Zone. Feldspars kaolinized, rock extensively chloritized		whole rock	FM 25						207106	Masson Hill And Mines, Matlock, Derbyshire, England, UK	Masson Hill	Fitch et al. (1964)	10.1144/GSL.SP.1964.001.01.15	GSL1_159	In the specimen analysed, the original ferro-magnesian minerals had been replaced by new chlorite and silica, and the plagioclase was somewhat kaolinized. The greater part of the previously accumulated radiogenic argon would have diffused from the rock during metasomatism and the age obtained is closely related to that of the mineralization (i.e., the formation of new chlorite) and not to that of extrusion.
