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 ID	Locality Notes
Michelle_000850	Whewellite was identified on fissures in central part of pelosiderite concretions and lenses at the Handlová coal deposit. Whewellite was formed as youngest phase in reductive environment with high activity of Ca2+ ions. Oxalic acid was formed by decomposition of organic matter.
