Examples
“Scanning electron microprobe using qualitative analyses and semi-quantitative spectroscopy identified bastnaesite, parasite-synchisite as the main minerals of interest.”
“These minerals define a series of REE fluorocarbonates characterized by increasing REE content within their structures from synchisite to bastnaesite.”
“By contrast, Dotson Ridge is characterized by steeply dipping pegmatitic and aplitic dikes variably mineralized with REE minerals including kainosite, xenotime, allanite, bastnaesite, thalenite, synchisite, and fergusonite.”
