Abstract

Fluorcalciobritholite and fluorbritholite-(Ce)—rare-earth minerals from the apatite supergroup—have been found in the course of the study in monzogabbro from the pre-Jurassic foundation of the Novoportovskoye oil and gas exploration area (southern part of the Yamal Peninsula). They form short-prismatic small individuals around fluorapatite crystals and belong to the primary mineral (magmatic) assemblage. This first finding of these minerals in gabbroids significantly expands our understanding of their occurrence in the nature.
