1964 C. A. Andersen et al. in Science 9 Oct. 257/3 We propose the name sinoite, which is derived directly from the chemical formula, for this new mineral.
1966 Geochim. et Cosmochim. Acta XXX. 367 Sinoite has only been found in the enstatite chondrites.
1972 Nature 22 Dec. 461/2 The relatively high nitrogen content in some enstatite chondrites is partly due to the presence of the mineral sinoite, Si2N2O, which so far has been found only in two meteorites.
