LocalitiesLiveingite from the Oule ravine, Alpes Maritimes

4th Mar 2017 21:20 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

Liveingite is reported from here according to the listed reference,

R. Pierrot, P. Picot, J. Feraud, J. Vernet : "Inventaire Minéralogique de la France, N° 4, Alpes Maritimes", BRGM, 1974.

Could someone check if the this book gives any analytical details or a further reference?

Hi Uwe,

no book of this series that I own gives analytical data. I checked the location in the book and found no references given in the location description. The book contains two pages of references, but those, as far as I see, are not linked with the text or locations in the book. You would need to check them one by one to see if they cover the location which I doubt.

Book says: Liveingite - small inclusions in galena, same goes for geocronite.

Cheers,

Stefan

P. 101:

“A very doubtful occurrence of liveingite is reported from the Vallon de l’Oule, Alpes Maritimes (F) (Pierrot et al., 2014). Nothing is known about the analyses made and the samples have disappeared (G. Mari, pers. comm. 2005).”
