Extract

The first recognition of ankerite as a British mineral seems to have been made a little over fifty years ago by M. F. Heddle, who described and analysed a sample from the Ting of Norwick, Unst. The occurrence of the mineral in veins in the Carboniferous Limestone of Lilleshall, Shropshire, was recorded by C. J. Woodward, who gives analyses of two specimens. T. Crook noted the frequent occurrence of the mineral in British coal-fields and described specimens, with two analyses, from Lancashire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and South Wales. F. S. Sinnatt and his collaborators, in their work on the mineral constituents of coal, devote a good deal of attention to the 'white partings' or ankerites, of which, as they say, 'no study has appeared in the literature'.
