MINERALOGISTS
The mineralogists claim nanocrystalline c-diamond, h-diamond, n-diamond and i-carbon occur deposited in the geological record across 4 continents. Attached is a PNAS paper documenting that at least 10 million metric tonnes of impact spherules are deposited on the Earth.......including predominantly C spherules which contain c-diamond, h-diamond, n-diamond and i-carbon within the C spherules............so there may be several million metric tonnes of n-diamond and i-carbon nanocrystalline minerals in the geological record.............I point out to you also that there are 10 Bragg reflections for n-diamond nanocrystals and 9 Bragg reflections for i-carbon nanocrystals...........In my combined analysis I am able to fit 17 of these reflections to tetragonal glitter to within an averaged deviation of less than 2%........I wonder how many Bragg reflections are required to solve c-diamond macrocrystals...........I bet it is not more than 24 independent reflections (3 coordinate parameters times 8 C atoms/unit cell). I am very surprised considering these facts that some mineralogist.......or ANY mineralogist does not get together with their local electron microscopist and do a thorough analysis of these nanodiamonds in the geological record and thus prove my "glitter" model right or wrong in the end..........what is stalling things.........it is now 2017 and something anything should have been started over 3 years ago in 2014.........It is puzzling Roald the lack of interest.
