NOMENCLATURE PROPOSAL APPROVED IN AUGUST 2016


IMA 16-A Gadolinite supergroup

Proposal 16-A on the gadolinite supergroup is accepted. The supergroup is divided in two groups,

defined on the basis of the tetrahedral cations: Si4+ in the gadolinite group, and P5+ or As5+ in

the herderite group. The gadolinite group is further divided in two subgroups: the gadolin- ite and

datolite subgroups. The herderite group is also divided in two subgroups: the herderite and

drugmanite subgroups. Bakerite is discredited.


Seidozerite supergroup

The seidozerite supergroup has been estab- lished. The supergroup is divided into four groups:

rinkite group, bafertisite group, lam- prophyllite group, murmanite group, and includes 45 mineral

species. As it was recog- nized from the revised end-member formulae that some minerals of the

supergroup have species-forming rare-earth elements, the name

rinkite has been changed to rinkite-(Ce), mosandrite to mosandrite-(Ce), and hainite to

hainite-(Y).


Hyalotekite group

The hyalotekite group has been established. It includes the minerals hyalotekite, khvorovite,

kapitsaite-(Y) and itsiite.


ERRATUM


IMA No. 2014-061 Erazoite

In CNMNC Newsletter 23, the type locality was given incorrectly. The correct type locality is:

Chilena mine, Soledad property, El Guanaco ore deposit, Antofagasta Province, Chile (25°

06′22″S, 69°32′10″W).


Edit: corrected spacegroup of Rowleyite (overbar lacking).

Edit 2: corrected spacegroup of Arsenmarcobaldiite, Argentodufrénoysite, Kuliginite, Chirvinskyite, Molinelloite, Hydroxykenoelsmoreite, Roymillerite, Kenoplumbomicrolite (overbar lacking).

Interesting to note that the only new mineral where the name is not released on this list ( IMA No. 2016-042) seems to have the name available at a number of web-sites and published allready in the scientific community. (see: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161029124425.htm).

It goes to show that with the speed information travels today it makes sense to formally release also the name as soon as a new mineral is approved by the IMA.


Knut

8th Nov 2016 14:25 UTCAlfredo Petrov Manager

The name (Merelaniite) has been used in public by the authors, and is all over even social media sites like Facebook, so it is probably just an unintentional oversight that it wasn't included on the IMA list.

8th Nov 2016 16:46 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

To anyone going to add the list to the database: watch out - most overbars in the space-group symbol have gone missing again during copy-pasting (most "P1" is actually "P-1"). Knut Edvard: will send you the PDF.

8th Nov 2016 22:51 UTCStuart Mills Manager

It's already been published that's why

Thanks Łukasz ! I also added the IMA numbers ( as synonyme), TLs and current IMA status (mostly " Pending publication") as well as some other infos.

17th Dec 2016 14:55 UTCTony Nikischer 🌟 Manager

Proposal 16-A (gadolinite supergroup) reference has a one-line "Bakerite is discredited" mention at the end of a one paragraph notation of the gadolinite-datolite group redefinition (?) remark. Does anyone have a paper with the actual work (no authors or submitters are listed) that resulted in the discrediting, as XRD data of bakerite, as well as its chemistry, are certainly different than datolite, and structural investigations as recent as 2004 found them to be different species (and stated it as such)?

17th Dec 2016 15:27 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

Only after such proposals are approved, the authors will start to write their paper on the issue.

18th Dec 2016 01:06 UTCAlfredo Petrov Manager

If the authors found evidence that (SiO4) and (HBO4) can substitute for each other, then they might indeed be the same species. But in science it would be more normal practice to present the evidence before a matter is considered to be done and decided.

18th Dec 2016 01:13 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder

It does seem a bit backwards.


But one presumably can assume that the IMA would not have approved the discreditation unless they felt the evidence was substantial.

18th Dec 2016 16:46 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

"it would be more normal practice to present the evidence before a matter is considered to be done and decided."


The evidence is presented to the IMA Commission which then votes. I agree that in some cases this is not enough because some of the issues need comments also from specialists outside the Commission (they are not always invited). Discussions of nomenclatorial changes sometimes take years until a "solution" is reached.
