Dmitryivanovite

Dmitryivanovite is a natural mineral composed of calcium, aluminium and oxygen, with the molecular formula CaAl2O4.

It was reported in 2009[4] in a calcium-aluminium-rich inclusion in the carbonaceous chondrite meteorite 470 (NWA470) CH3, which landed in North Africa.

The mineral name was chosen to[5] honor Dmitriy A. Ivanov (1962–1986), a geologist, mineralogist, and petrologist who died on a field expedition.

[4][6][7] It is the high-pressure CaAl2O4 dimorph of krotite.
