CATALOGUE OF TYPE MINERAL SPECIMENS (CTMS)

The compilation of the Catalogue of Type Mineral Specimens (CTMS) is nearing completion thanks to the efforts of Subcommission Chairman, H.A. Stalder. The data is currently available in searchable form in the MDAT-Lite database compiled by A. Hölzel. A preliminary version of the CTMS is posted here as Adobe Acrobat PDF files, arranged alphabetically by mineral name.
