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
Giersdorf_00000859	In the second part of the 20th century the Mecsek Mts were the target of intensive mineral exploration due to the Permian uranium mineralization of the Kővágószőlős Sandstone. The mining was discontinued in the 1980s; however, in the 1990s the western part of the mountains became a focus of interest once again due to the presence of a possible high level radioactive waste disposal site in the Permian Boda Siltstone Formation
