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The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.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.

Michelle_577	Radon Mine is in Big Indian District of San Juan County, Utah. It is a former uranium mine with an occurrence of whewellite and celestite in vuggy openings along the "Radon" fault. At this fault, the Chinle is composed of interbedded lenses of medium-grained sandstone, fine-grained sandstone, mudstone, and claystone. The "carbonaceous trash" found in the lower part of the Chinle Formation likely provided the oxalic acid required for the formation of the whewellite.

Michelle_577	252	201	Triassic		Age of mineralization in the Chinle Formation					Calcite, Celestine, Marcasite, Pyrite, Strontianite, Whewellite		38512	Radon Mine, Big Indian District (Big Indian Wash - Lisbon Valley Area), San Juan Co., Utah, USA	Radon Mine	Gude et al. (1960)		AM45_1257	Whewellite is associated with the "carbonaceous trash" found in the Triassic Chinle Formation. The author estimates the paragenesis from oldest to youngest is celestite, pyrite/marcasite, asphaltic material, whewellite, calcite, strontianite. Some of the asphaltic material is intergrown with the whewellite.
