NOMENCLATURE PROPOSALS APPROVED IN OCTOBER 2017
Gatelite supergroup
A new classification and nomenclature scheme
has been approved for the minerals of the gatelite
supergroup. The supergroup is divided into three
groups: gatelite group, västmanlandite group,
alnaperbøeite group.
Schoonerite group
A new classification and nomenclature scheme
has been approved for the minerals of the
schoonerite group. Currently the group includes
three mineral species: schoonerite,
wilhelmgümbelite, and schmidite.

NOMENCLATURE PROPOSALS APPROVED IN OCTOBER 2017
Gatelite supergroup
A new classification and nomenclature scheme
has been approved for the minerals of the gatelite
supergroup. The supergroup is divided into three
groups: gatelite group, västmanlandite group,
alnaperbøeite group.
Schoonerite group
A new classification and nomenclature scheme
has been approved for the minerals of the
schoonerite group. Currently the group includes
three mineral species: schoonerite,
wilhelmgümbelite, and schmidite.
