(revised 11/04/2006) Links PEGMATOPIA, at http://pegmatopia.ou.edu. PEGMATOPIA is intended for prospective graduate students. It describes the current projects and opportunities for student research on pegmatites at the University of Oklahoma. DAKOTA MATRIX, at http://www.dakotamatrix.com/. This site by Tom Loomis includes two very interesting and contemporary articles about pegmatite mines in the Black Hills, South Dakota. Journal of Pegmatology, links to other pegmatite-related sites; Dr. Michael B. Wise, editor and webmaster. Skip Simmons and Karen Webber at the University of New Orleans would like PIGs to know of three web sites related to pegmatites: Gary Freeman (Coromoto Minerals) maintains an attractive and informative pegmatite website (http://www.coromotominerals.com/index.html) that details mining at the Orchard and GE pegmatite quarries in Oxford County, Maine. The site features photo galleries of some of the best specimens from five years of mining, and there are maps, views, and text that depict the geology and show the history of mining over time. You can submit time-sensitive information about people, localities, or topics. We currently list relevant pegmatite websites here as well, and we would be happy to add more. Please send your contributions in electronic formats only to Dr. David London Telephone: (405) 325-3253 |
