Short summary
There are unresolved problems related to the nomenclature and identification of mineral species belonging to the triphylite group of minerals. They can be solved by discarding the traditional views on succession of mineral species during oxidation. In other words, it is necessary to separate the concepts of the origin of the mineral and the boundaries of the species.
