| Species: | Ankerite |
| Formula: | Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2 |
| Comments: | There is no ankerite at Conrad Hill. The carbonate is overwhelmingly siderite, and no calcium is present in the geochemistry. A myth of calling pseudomorphs of goethite after calcite rhombs "ankerite" became widespread at the Hiddenite localities in Alexander County, and this myth likely spread here since similar pseudomorphs after siderite occur here. |
