Short summary
Marioantofilliite, ideally [Cu4Al2(OH)12](CO3)•3H2O, is a new member of the hydrotalcite supergroup occurring as a supergene mineral in the Cu–Fe deposit of Monte Copello–Reppia (Liguria, Italy). Its name honours Mario Antofilli (1920–1983) for his contribution to the knowledge of the mineralogy of Liguria. Its discovery and description improve the knowledge of layered double hydroxides (LD), with implications for the group of Cu–Al LDH actively studied for its technological properties.
