NOMENCLATURE PROPOSAL APPROVED IN AUGUST 2016
IMA 16-A Gadolinite supergroup
Proposal 16-A on the gadolinite supergroup is accepted. The supergroup is divided in two groups,
defined on the basis of the tetrahedral cations: Si4+ in the gadolinite group, and P5+ or As5+ in
the herderite group. The gadolinite group is further divided in two subgroups: the gadolin- ite and
datolite subgroups. The herderite group is also divided in two subgroups: the herderite and
drugmanite subgroups. Bakerite is discredited.
Seidozerite supergroup
The seidozerite supergroup has been estab- lished. The supergroup is divided into four groups:
rinkite group, bafertisite group, lam- prophyllite group, murmanite group, and includes 45 mineral
species. As it was recog- nized from the revised end-member formulae that some minerals of the
supergroup have species-forming rare-earth elements, the name
rinkite has been changed to rinkite-(Ce), mosandrite to mosandrite-(Ce), and hainite to
hainite-(Y).
Hyalotekite group
The hyalotekite group has been established. It includes the minerals hyalotekite, khvorovite,
kapitsaite-(Y) and itsiite.
ERRATUM
IMA No. 2014-061 Erazoite
In CNMNC Newsletter 23, the type locality was given incorrectly. The correct type locality is:
Chilena mine, Soledad property, El Guanaco ore deposit, Antofagasta Province, Chile (25°
06′22″S, 69°32′10″W).
Edit: corrected spacegroup of Rowleyite (overbar lacking).
Edit 2: corrected spacegroup of Arsenmarcobaldiite, Argentodufrénoysite, Kuliginite, Chirvinskyite, Molinelloite, Hydroxykenoelsmoreite, Roymillerite, Kenoplumbomicrolite (overbar lacking).

NOMENCLATURE PROPOSAL APPROVED IN AUGUST 2016
IMA 16-A Gadolinite supergroup
Proposal 16-A on the gadolinite supergroup is accepted. The supergroup is divided in two groups,
defined on the basis of the tetrahedral cations: Si4+ in the gadolinite group, and P5+ or As5+ in
the herderite group. The gadolinite group is further divided in two subgroups: the gadolin- ite and
datolite subgroups. The herderite group is also divided in two subgroups: the herderite and
drugmanite subgroups. Bakerite is discredited.
Seidozerite supergroup
The seidozerite supergroup has been estab- lished. The supergroup is divided into four groups:
rinkite group, bafertisite group, lam- prophyllite group, murmanite group, and includes 45 mineral
species. As it was recog- nized from the revised end-member formulae that some minerals of the
supergroup have species-forming rare-earth elements, the name
rinkite has been changed to rinkite-(Ce), mosandrite to mosandrite-(Ce), and hainite to
hainite-(Y).
Hyalotekite group
The hyalotekite group has been established. It includes the minerals hyalotekite, khvorovite,
kapitsaite-(Y) and itsiite.
ERRATUM
IMA No. 2014-061 Erazoite
In CNMNC Newsletter 23, the type locality was given incorrectly. The correct type locality is:
Chilena mine, Soledad property, El Guanaco ore deposit, Antofagasta Province, Chile (25°
06′22″S, 69°32′10″W).
Edit: corrected spacegroup of Rowleyite (overbar lacking).
Edit 2: corrected spacegroup of Arsenmarcobaldiite, Argentodufrénoysite, Kuliginite, Chirvinskyite, Molinelloite, Hydroxykenoelsmoreite, Roymillerite, Kenoplumbomicrolite (overbar lacking).
