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The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.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 IDLocality Notes
Michelle_270The Markey Mine is in the White Canyon mining district, San Juan County, Utah. The mine is geologically similar to the nearby Blue Lizard and Giveaway-Simplot mines. These mines have been the source of several new secondary uranyl sulfate minerals. The Markey Mine is richer in uranyl carbonate minerals, possibly as a result of considerably higher atmospheric CO2 concentration compared to the Blue Lizard mine.
Michelle_511Jomac Mine occurs in the Triassic Shinarump Formation containing uranium ores, organic material and clays. It is the TL for oswaldpeetersite, with the mineral occurring within a siltstone bedding plane.
Michelle_744The Triassic Shinarump member of the Chinle formation hosts the Blue Lizard Mine and other significant uranium deposits in the White Canyon District.
Michelle_745Ore minerals were deposited as replacement of wood and other organic material and as disseminations in the enclosing sandstone found in paleochannels.
Michelle_746The Blue Lizard Mine has been the source of several new uranyl sulfate minerals, the product of secondary mineralization. "The mineral association described here is of supergene origin, related to post-mining processes (the mine was closed in 1978), which include supergene oxidation of primary ores (uraninite, pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminated in lenses of organic matter) in the humid underground environment, which led to the formation of a variety of secondary minerals, mainly sulfates, occurring as efflorescent crusts on the surfaces of mine walls."
Michelle_747The Green Lizard mine is near the head of Low Canyon on the east side of Red Canyon, 2.1 km north of the Blue Lizard mine in the White Canyon mining district, San Juan County, Utah. The mine is geologically similar to the nearby Blue Lizard, Giveaway-Simplot and Markey mines. These mines have been the source of several new secondary uranyl sulfate minerals.
Michelle_748Giveaway-Simplot Mine is in the White Canyon mining district, San Juan County, Utah. The mine is geologically similar to the nearby Blue Lizard Mine. These mines have been the source of several new secondary, post-mining uranyl sulfate minerals.
