Mineral Evolution Database

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

Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org

Important Update News

The RRUFF Project has been migrated to RRUFF.net. Please update your bookmarks immediately, if you have not done so.

The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

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 ID	Locality Notes
Michelle_711	Moolooite occurs at this locality as a product of weathering copper sulfides with bird guano. Moolooite occurs as micro-concretionary crusts and powder in cracks and solution cavities resulting from the sulphide oxidation. It is found associated with opaline silica, gypsum, brochantite, antlerite, atacamite, whewellite, sampleite, and libethenite.
Michelle_713	Gneissic and siliciclastic lithologies of the Glenburgh Terrane. Deformed during the D2g event of Glenburgh Orogeny (see above). Overprinted by low-grade metamorphism during the 1820–1770 Ma Capricorn Orogeny. Intruded by Moorarie Supersuite (ca. 1820–1770 Ma)
Michelle_714	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.
