Example: Five dimensional incommensurate structure of fresnoite
Acta Cryst. (2006). B62, 1031–1037
The sample from Museo di Storia Naturale, Sezione di Mineralogia e Litologia, Universita di Firenze, Italy, catalogue number 44362/G originates from the sanbornite deposits of eastern Fresno County, California. Fresnoite, Ba2TiSi2O8, is structurally related to the melilite group minerals.
