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.

ERRATUM


IMA No. 2017-010 Levantite

In CNMNCNewsletter 37, the type locality was

given incorrectly. The correct type locality is:

Har Parsa West slope (Mt.Parsa, N31°12’29”; E35°16’45.6”),

Hatrurim Basin pyrometamorphic rock field, Negev Desert,

Arad, Israel
