Literature search

"Very little recent activity has been noted about jerrygibbsite. Its most highly cited paper, with four citings is that of Yau, who tested mixed layering between leucophoenicite and jerrygibbsite. The second highest is that of Dunn, with three citings, who discovered the mineral in the first place. No recent literature or images are available."

Moved the above to the talk page as it does not seem to be encyclopedic. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what this is supposed to refer to, and it is not used in the article, so I have moved it here. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
