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.

Locality Notes from all Ages at Locality:

Age ID	Locality Notes
Jen_0000719	MAGMATIC STYLE: Sheet up to 250 m thick and 10 km long concordant with Karoo sandstones. Internal veins and thin dykes. Disagreement as to whether intrusive or extrusive. Breccias, agglomerates and finer-grained material. Proponent of an extrusive origin suggests lapilli can be identified.
