Comments: | Taramite is listed as occurring at Marinkas Kwela in several articles. The taramite root-name group was redefined in th e2012 nomenclature and the pre-2012 taramite is now ferro-ferri-taramite. In addition, the defining criteria was shifted from the T position to the C-position of the amphibole moelcule. A consequence of this is that many "taramites" are now classified as "katophorite root name group minerals. Based on analytical data of "taramites" from Smithies (1992) and Smithies & Marsh (1996), the "taramites" from here is most likely ferro-ferri-katophorites. |
