| | Rocks & Minerals: Eugene Edward Foord - 1946-1998 |
 | | Throughout his career he described or co-authored the first descriptions of some twenty-five new mineral species, a total that is expected to rise to more than thirty once studies now in press or in progress with his many professional colleagues are completed. |
 | | His first new species was the mercury mineral corderoite, [Hg.sub.3][S.sub.2][C1.sub.2], from Nevada (Foord, Berendsen, and Storey 1974), soon followed by the niobium-tantalum oxide rynersonite from the San Diego mine (Foord and Mrose 1978). |
 | | Corderoite, first natural occurrence of Hg3S2C12, Cordero mercury deposit, Humboldt County, Nevada. |
