Undefinierte Schlackenvorkommen, Harz, Niedersachsen, Deutschland


In several papers, Schnorrer-Kรถhler and Schnorrer described slag minerals from the Harz without giving specific locality data. In most cases, this was done in order to protect certain archaeologically important/sensitive or very small localities.

Notes:

- In all of the papers, the locality is sometimes given only in the photo caption, not in the text itself.

- The mineral list is presently incomplete but will be updated. The reported "leiteite" might be valentinite.
