INVESTIGATION OF THE SHEEP CREEK CARBONATITES, RAVALLI COUNTY, MONTANA [PDF]
Carbonatite-related REE-Nb mineralization in southern Ravalli County, Montana was first discovered in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Over 30 discontinuous carbonatite bodies occur in a ~ 10 km2 area centered on Sheep Creek, a tributary to the ...

EVOLUTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND CRYSTAL MORPHOLOGY OF AEGIRIN DURING FORMATION OF THE VISHNEVOGORSK ALKALINE CARBONATITE COMPLEX (SOUTH URALS) [PDF]
The chemical composition and crystal morphology of aegirine changed during formation of the Vishnevogorsk alkaline carbonatite complex. Fenitization of host metamorphic rocks, early vein syenites and pegmatites resulted in crystallization of pyroxenes ...

CANCRINITE-GROUP MINERALS AT NON-AMBIENT CONDITIONS: A MODEL OF THE ELASTIC BEHAVIOR AND STRUCTURE EVOLUTION [PDF]
The minerals of the cancrinite group are zeolite-like compounds, sharing the [CAN]-topology of the framework. Their structure shows large 12-ring channels along [0001], bound by columns of cages, the so-called can units.

The complete genome sequence of a Neandertal from the Altai Mountains
We present a high-quality genome sequence of a Neanderthal woman from Siberia. We show that her parents were related at the level of half-siblings and that mating among close relatives was common among her recent ancestors.
