Research
Scientists, geologists,
museum directors and rockhounds have posted the results of
their experiences and experimentation with Glendonites and
Ikaite on the Internet, along with some great photos.
I
have been most fortunate to have communicated with many of
them and it has been gratifying to discover others who share
my passion about glendonites, ikaite, carbonate formation
in ancient sea beds, the climate of the planet in ancient
times, and how those all relate to the climate changes we're
undergoing today.
The following
list includes websites displaying examples of Glendonites
and related pseudomorphic mineral forms, mineralogy collector
sites, research documents, and a list of all the references
I've collected on the subject so far.
