| Comments: | Cooper & Stanley (1990): "The majority of records for 'psilomelane' from Caldbeck would probably now be referred to [as] romanèchite. A check of X-ray records in the BM(NH) shows that romanèchite has been confirmed from Dry Gill." Green et al. (2008): "Coronadite is rare in the Caldbeck Fells. It was reported by Hartley (1959) from Dry Gill Mine and is sometimes assumed to be fairly common there, but recent research has shown that almost all of the black manganese oxide that accompanies Dry Gill campylite is romanèchite." | |
