Name:
The root name is given in memory of Johann Jacob Nöggerath (Bonn 10 October 1788 – Bonn 13 September 1877), a prominent German mineralogist and geologist. Since 1818 J. J. Nöggerath was professor of mineralogy and geology at the University of Bonn. Among his publications, there is a geological description of the Laach Lake paleovolcanic region.
Type Locality:
Isostructural with:
Nöggerathite-(Ce) is an analogue of zirconolite-3O, ideally CaZrTi2O7, with Nb dominant over Ti in one of two octahedrally coordinated sites and REE dominant over Ca in the eight-fold coordinated site.
Closely related to Stefanweissite and laachite.
Closely related to Stefanweissite and laachite.
