Important Update News

rruff.info is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at www.rruff.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional. Once released, the address will revert to RRUFF.info.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

    This mineral directly occurs at 4 localities (4 localities according to mindat, 21 localities if parents are counted as well)
    Of the 4 localities at which this mineral occurs, 4 have an age. (21 of the 21 parent localities have ages)


    MDThe mineral occurs at this locality according to MED, but does not have an age yet.
    MDThe mineral occurs at this locality according to MED, and has an age.
    The mineral occurs at some child of this locality.
    The locality at which the mineral occurs does not have an age...this is the closest parent locality with an age, relative to that mineral. This is not ideal.

    AThis mineral is Anthropogenic.
    GThis mineral is directly dated.
    BThis mineral is reported as having this age.
    YThis mineral is using an age reported as an element mineralization period.
    OThis mineral is using an age calculated from all data at the locality.
    RThe age displayed for this mineral originates from a different, non-child locality.
    PThe age displayed for this mineral is the range of ages for this mineral at all of this locality's children.
    This mineral's age has not yet been recorded.

    In order to zoom in/out on the map, you'll need to click inside the map first
    If a locality has both a GPS coordinate, and either contains or has at least one child locality containing at least one of the minerals listed above, then this map displays a single marker for that locality.

     This locality is directly dated, but is not bottom-level. (2 total)
     This locality is not directly dated, and is not bottom-level. (16 total)

     This bottom-level locality has an age assigned to it from some other locality. (3 total)
     This locality does not have an age assigned to it. (0 bottom-level + 0 top/mid-level = 0 total)
