Andymcdonaldite (Fe3+2Te6+O6), a new ferric iron tellurate with inverse trirutile structure from the Detroit district, Juab County, Utah
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Andymcdonaldite is a new ferric-iron-tellurate mineral that occurs within Au-, Te-, and Bi-rich jasperoid at the Wildcat prospect in the Detroit district, Juab County, Utah. The mineral has a yellow-brown to brownish-black color, occurs as extremely cryptocrystalline (11–25 nm) material in thin films and breccia matrix fillings, and is associated with gold (native), tellurium (native), beyerite, clinobisvanite, and a variety of tellurium oxysalt minerals that include carlfriesite, eckhardite, frankhawthorneite, khinite, mcalpineite, paratellurite, tellurite, tlapallite, and xocolatlite. This is the first known natural occurrence of a phase with an ordered (tetragonal) inverse trirutile structure (A3+2B6+O6) which has many synthetic representatives. The B site in andymcdonaldite is occupied by Te and the A site is dominated by Fe with up to approximately 14 mole% substitution by other cations. An empirical formula of (Fe1.74Cu0.12Mn0.06Al0.05Mg0.05)Σ2.02Te1.01O6 was obtained from electron microprobe analyses. Powder X-ray diffraction data, Raman spectra, and unit-cell dimensions for andymcdonaldite strongly resemble those for the synthetic analogue, Fe3+2Te6+O6. The strongest X-ray diffraction lines are [dobsÅ(Iobs)(hkl)]: 4.14(27)(101), 3.28(100)(110), 2.54(71)(103), 1.71(72)(213), and 1.37(39)(303,116). The strongest Raman bands are at 748, 643, and 417 cm–1. The space group is P42/mnm and the cell dimensions are a 4.622–4.630 Å, c 9.077–9.087 Å, and V = 193.94–194.80 Å3 (Z = 2).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
