TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 16 ferromanganese nodules collected from a large area in the Kara Sea were studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy, Xray powder diffraction, X-ray fluorescence analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and electron microprobe analysis.

TL;DR: Murashkoite, FeP, is a new mineral found in pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Formation, South Levant as discussed by the authors, which is a typical accessory phase in the marbles and paralavas in the southern Negev Desert, Israel and on the Transjordan Plateau, Jordan.

TL;DR: Zuktamrurite, FeP2, is a new mineral, a natural iron diphosphide found in the pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Formation, in the southern part of the Negev Desert, Israel and on the Transjordan Plateau, Jordan as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A database of Phanerozoic occurrences and isotopic characteristics of metastable cold-water calcium carbonate hexahydrate and its associated carbonate pseudo-morphs (glendonites) has been compiled from academic publications, Explanatory notes, and reports as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Transjordanite, a hexagonal, space group P62m, was found in the Hatrurim Formation of the Southern Levant and was named for the occurrence on the Transjordan Plateau, West Jordan as mentioned in this paper.
