Summary

A nordmarkite from the Ben Loyal syenite complex has been analysed, in which a powdery yellow mineral occurs in miarolitic cavities. The mineral may be a new hydrated species with a monazite structure and a chemical composition essentially that of monazite but with silicon partly replacing phosphorus and with magnesium, calcium, and iron partly replacing the rare earths.
