Meaning of "dawsonite" in English

Dawsonite is a mineral composed primarily of sodium aluminum carbonate hydroxide. It typically forms as white to gray crystalline aggregates and is often found in hydrothermal environments or as a secondary mineral in sedimentary rocks. It was first identified in 1874 and named after geologist Sir John William Dawson. Dawsonite's occurrence is rare, and it is primarily of interest to mineralogists and geologists. Its unique structure makes it a subject of study for researchers looking into carbonate minerals and their potential uses or geological significance.

Meaning of "dawsonite" in French

Dawsonite is known in both English and French as "dawsonite." It refers to a rare mineral consisting of sodium aluminum carbonate hydroxide. In France, as elsewhere, it is predominantly of interest to geologists and researchers studying mineralogy. Found primarily in sedimentary and hydrothermal settings, dawsonite presents itself as white or greyish crystalline masses. Its rarity and unique crystallographic properties are subjects of ongoing scientific inquiry, particularly in understanding carbonate mineral deposits and their formation processes. The term retains the same pronunciation and technical definitions across both languages.
