Important Update News

The RRUFF Project is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at 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. Existing RRUFF.info links will resolve to the new site after RRUFF.net is officially released.

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

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.

This mineral directly occurs at 6 localities (7 localities according to mindat, 28 localities if parents are counted as well)
Of the 6 localities at which this mineral occurs, 5 have an age. (25 of the 28 parent localities have ages)

MD	The mineral occurs at this locality according to MED, but does not have an age yet.
MD	The 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.

A	This mineral is Anthropogenic.
G	This mineral is directly dated.
B	This mineral is reported as having this age.
Y	This mineral is using an age reported as an element mineralization period.
O	This mineral is using an age calculated from all data at the locality.
R	The age displayed for this mineral originates from a different, non-child locality.
P	The 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.

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. (3 total)

This locality is directly dated, but is not bottom-level. (3 total)

This locality is not directly dated, and is not bottom-level. (18 total)

This bottom-level locality has an age assigned to it from some other locality. (1 total)

This locality does not have an age assigned to it. (1 bottom-level + 2 top/mid-level = 3 total)
