Abstract
Occurrences of discrete selenide phases in the geological environment are rather rare and are confined to a few sulphide deposits and sandstone-type uranium deposits such as those of the Colorado plateau, USA. The occurrence of discrete selenide phases viz., clausthalite (PbSe), ferroselite (FeSe2) and Co-penroseite (CoNiCuSe2) are reported for the first time from the Uraniferous Mahadek sandstones of Domiasiat and Wahkyn South, West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya. The selenide phases are associated with pyritiferous organic matter, pitchblende and other ore minerals such as marcasite and sphalerite.Downloads
