 * Symbol question.svg solid article, offline source accepted AGF, I am no expert but trust. The hook is interesting, but how do you feel about telling/teaching us a bit more:
 * ALT1: ... that while the mineral magnesiopascoite was discovered in Utah in 2008, the two cotype specimens are held at a museum in California? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the alt, but I would trim the '2008' because it doesn't really relate to the mineral being in California. How about ALT2: ... that while the mineral magnesiopascoite was discovered in Utah, the two cotype specimens are held at a museum in California? Chris857 (talk) 16:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Although the hook fact is sourced to a journal I can't access, two online sources cited in the article confirm its validity. I took the liberty of editing the original hook to change "specimens" to "type specimens" and add a link. The original hook and ALT2 are fine. ALT1 isn't, because there is no indication that the mineral was discovered in 2008. That's the date when it was first described in a publication; the discovery almost certainly happened earlier. --Orlady (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
