Occurrences of Pd–Pt Bismuthotellurides and a Phosphohedyphane-Like Phase in Sulfide Veins of the Monchepluton Layered Complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia
We describe occurrences of platinum-group minerals (PGM) and an uncommon mineral enriched in Cl, and provide a brief review of Cl-bearing minerals associated with basic–ultrabasic complexes. An unusual phosphohedyphane-like phase (~30 µm), close to CaPb4(PO4)3Cl, occurs in one of the PGM-bearing vei...
