REVISED CHEMICAL FORMULA
After the approval of the new mineral markeyite
(IMA No. 2016-090; see CNMNC Newsletter
35), the authors of the proposal communicated
results of subsequent analytical work on this
mineral, which shows higher contents of CO2
and lower concentrations of H2O. The new data
were examined carefully by the CNMNC
officers and were found reliable. The new
revised simplified formula Ca9(UO2)4(CO3)13·
28H2O has been approved executively.
