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_478	Sample collected from mine dumps. The Lacoste-La Frégère vein system is the largest of several tungsten deposits within the district.
Michelle_479	Sample collected from mine dumps. The Lacoste-La Frégère vein system is the largest of several tungsten deposits within the district.
Michelle_480	Sample collected from mine dumps. The Lacoste-La Frégère vein system is the largest of several tungsten deposits within the district.
Michelle_481	Located along the Dadou river, Rivet Quarry is within the Peyrebrune Pb–Zn–Ag ore field and mined for gravel. The Rivet Quarry is composed of metabasalt and metadolerite, correlating to the Stage II, main mineralization stage of the Peyrebrune region. Tubulite is associated with galena, pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, and Sb sulfosalts of Pb, Ag and Cu, in a gangue of quartz, baryte and carbonates.
