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The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.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
Jen_0000789	MAGMATIC STYLE: Dykes and veins. ASSOCIATED SILICATE ROCKS: Fenite.
Jen_0001121	MAGMATIC STYLE: Dykes and possible dolomitized carbonatite tuff. ASSOCIATED SILICATE ROCKS: There are extensive peralkaline granites but their relationship, if any, to the carbonatites is not clear. Basic dykes and brecciated peridotite also occur.
