Mineral Evolution Database

Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.

Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org

Only display mineral occurrences with a max age below: and a max age above:

Alternately, only display mineral occurrences without an age:

This page displays localities at which this mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the mineral at these localities.

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 bottom-level locality is directly dated. (1 total)

This locality is directly dated, but is not bottom-level. (0 total)

This locality is not directly dated, and is not bottom-level. (20 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 + 3 top/mid-level = 3 total)
