Plural form of ankerite; multiple samples or deposits of the calcium-magnesium-iron carbonate mineral.
Standard English plural formation of ankerite (see above), formed by adding the "-s" suffix to the singular mineral name.
When geologists find ankerites together in deposits, it tells a story about the temperature and pressure conditions when the rocks formed—each mineral is like a frozen snapshot of ancient Earth conditions.
