Abstract

Hogbomite is of widespread occurrence as an accessory and minor mineral in the V-Ti-Fe ore deposits of Ubrani, Tavarekere, Masanikere, Magyatahalli and Devaranarsipur in Shimoga district and Mulemane in Uttar Kannada district. Both primary and secondary hogbomite are found. The mineral shows considerable variation in chemistry. The analytical data indicate that hogbomite structure is relatively more open than that of coexisting magnetite/ilmenite and can admit a variety of substitutions.
