Table 1 Summary of known natural Fe-Ni-P phosphides arranged in order of increasing metal-to-phosphorus atomic ratio. Minerals found in the rocks of Hatrurim Formation are highlighted in italic, new minerals – in bold and italic. Estimated standard deviations of lattice parameters (Å) are given in parentheses. Data for allabogdanite from meteorite Onello¹¹, nickelphosphide from meteorite Butler (present study), melliniite from meteorite Northwest Africa 1054 (ref 13), other phosphides from the Hatrurim Formation (present study). Reference numbers of the new minerals approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of International Mineralogical Association: negevite, 2013–104; zuktamrurite, 2013–107; murashkoite, 2012–071; halamishite, 2013–105; transjordanite, 2013–106
