Charles run a gamma spec on this. Note the low energy tail on the
U is it possible there is some Th in there? I can¡¯t pick out energies off the
jpg post the MCA file.

Subject: [XRF] Brannerite! (or is it?)
?
I picked this up yesterday.? It was interesting because
Brannerite UTi2O6
is supposed to be high in Ti and less so in Ta and Nb like betafites
(Ca,Na,U)2(Ti, Nb,Ta)2O6Z(OH).? However, this specimen has much more Nb
than anything else.? It is going back to the dealer today with this scan
so he can label it correctly.
