▪ Rumsey, M. (2022): The First British Occurrence of a Betpakdalite-Supergroup Mineral at Carrock Mine, Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria. Journal of the Russell Society, 25, 209-212.

Abstract:
The heteropolymolybdate mineral betpakdalite-CaMg has been identified as an alteration product of molybdenite on a specimen in the collection at the Natural History Museum, London from Carrock Mine, Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria. The initial identification was made 1997, before the betpakdalite-supergroup was approved, and has been updated to reflect current nomenclature. The presence of a betpakdalite-supergroup mineral extends the variety of geochemical environments that are known to have developed during supergene alteration at Carrock Mine and increases the probability of further unusual discoveries.
