1910F. A. Canfield et al. in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. XXX. 202 We propose the name mosesite, which name, besides perpetuating the high attainments of Professor Moses in the science of mineralogy, is particularly appropriate as it links his name with a group of minerals which he first definitely put on record. 1953Amer. Mineralogist XXXVIII. 1225 Mosesite from El Doctor, Mexico, contains AsO4 and very little MoO4, but that from Terlingua, Texas, has only Cl and SO4 as anions. Ibid. 1234 Mosesite may be easily synthesized by treating HgCl with dilute ammonium hydroxide. 1959Prof. Papers U.S. Geol. Surv. No. 312. 70/1 The kleinite and mosesite..furnish direct evidence that they were formed at temperatures well above those to be expected during weathering. |
