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.

Giersdorf_00000829	The Zadní Chodov uranium deposit was mined from 1952 to 1992 and was ranked among medium-size uranium deposits in the Bohemian Massif.
