Evseev Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, email: [email protected] An inventory of mineral type localities at which more than three new mineral species were discovered (nearly 200 sites over the world) has been compiled. Their geographical locations have been refined (the coordinates are presented) using the multimedia Microsoft Encarta2001 World Atlas. Examples of the earliest (regarding the year of the publication) and last finds of new minerals are presented for each of the type localities. These data can be used for expansion of museum collections at the expense of additions of type specimens. The place of discovery, or the type locality preceding a TL name is the number of new (TL), is obligatorily specified in publications on species discovered here; the data borrowed new minerals. However, the geographical loca- from the work by Pekov (2000) are asterisked. tion is commonly the least precise characteris- For each TL, examples of finds of new minerals tic in the descriptions of the finds.

Rodalquilarite is characterised by ferric ion absorption 21 in the range 12300-8800 cm-1. 22 Three water vibrational overtones are observed in xocomecatlite at 7140, 7075 23 and 6935 cm-1 where as in tlapallite bands are shifted to low wavenumbers at 7135, 24 7080 and 6830 cm-1.

KAMPF 1 Research School of Earth Sciences and Department of Applied Mathematics, Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2 Geosciences, Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia 3 Mineral Sciences Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA [Received 24 November 2015; Accepted 23 February 2016; Associate Editor: Mark Welch] ABSTRACT Relative to its extremely low abundance in the Earth’s crust, tellurium is the most mineralogically diverse chemical element, with over 160 mineral species known that contain essential Te, many of them with unique crystal structures. We review the crystal structures of 703 tellurium oxysalts for which good refinements exist, including 55 that are known to occur as minerals. The dataset is restricted to compounds where oxygen is the only ligand that is strongly bound to Te, but most of the Periodic Table is represented in the compounds that are reviewed. The dataset contains 375 structures that contain only Te4+ cations and 302 with only Te6+, with 26 of the compounds containing Te in both valence states. Te6+ was almost exclusively in rather regular octahedral coordination by oxygen ligands, with only two instances each of 4- and 5-coordination. Conversely, the lone-pair cation Te4+ displayed irregular coordination, with a broad range of coordination numbers and bond distances.
