Mineralienatlas (name for mineral atlas) is the platform for people interested in mineralogy, geology, palaeontology and mining since 2001. We operate a significant database for minerals, fossils, rocks and their localities. Mineralienatlas is not limited to a section. We bring together information and inform comprehensive.

To complete our information constantly, we need your support. With us, everyone can and should participate. Currently Mineralienatlas is used and expanded by 10586 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

De­posits are one of the most im­por­tant top­ics in ge­ol­o­gy. Peter Sero­ka has ad­dressed the is­sue in sev­er­al years of work and has writ­ten an up-to-date ge­o­log­i­cal sum­mary. He ded­i­cat­ed his work to the 15 th an­niver­sary of Min­er­alie­nat­las.

Peter Seroka has addressed the issue in several years of work and has written an up-to-date geological summary. He dedicated his work to the 15 th anniversary of Mineralienatlas. The work gives detailed information regarding the origin of deposits, the different types of deposits and their classification. Examples of economically important deposits complete the chapters. Provided that this comprehensive work would be printed it would be a volume of over 400 pages; here it is provided in its entirety, online. Thanks to Peter Seroka. (written in german language).

In den späten 1790er Jahren (an­dere Quelle: 1801) ent­deckte der spanische Min­er­aloge An­drés Manuel del Rio ein bis da­to un­bekan­ntes rötlich­braunes Min­er­al mit hexag­o­nalen, fass-ähn­lichen Kris­tallen im San Damian Firsten­bau der Grube Lo­mo del Toro im Mu­ni­ci­pio Zimapán, Prov­inz Hi­dal­go, Mexiko.

Aus seinen Analysen schloss er, dass dieses Mineral Blei sowie einen bisher unbekannten Bestandteil, eventuell ein neues Element, enthält. Er nannte das Mineral "plomo rojo de Zimapán" bzw. "brown lead" (rotes Blei von Zimapán; resp. braunes Blei) und sandte alle seine Aufzeichnungen über den Fund sowie Muster des Minerals an seinen guten Freund, Baron Alexander von Humboldt nach Europa, um diese Spezies weiter untersuchen zu lassen. Humboldt hatte Mexiko von 1804 bis 1808 besucht und befand sich auf der Rückreise nach Europa. Unglücklicherweise ging die Kiste mit den Aufzeichnungen und Mustern del Rios während der Rückfahrt Humboldts bei schwerem Seegang über Bord (Grund dafür, dass als Typlokalität des Vanadinit in manchen englischsprachigen mineralogischen Büchern "lost at sea" angegeben wird). - Ein Beitrag von Peter Seroka

In the Republic South Africa the trip led to the copper mining region of Okiep as well as the lead zinc mines of Aggeneys and, finally, to the Kalahari manganese ore districts of Postmasburg and Kuruman.
