Abstract	Galgenbergite-(Ce) from the type locality, the railroad tunnel Galgenberg between Leoben and St. Michael, Styria, Austria, was investigated. There it occurs in small fissures of an albite-chlorite schist as very thin tabular crystals building rosette-shaped aggregates associated with siderite, ancylite-(Ce), pyrite and calcite. Electron microprobe analyses gave CaO 9.49, Ce2O3 28.95, La2O3 11.70, Nd2O3 11.86, Pr2O3 3.48, CO2 30.00, H2O 3.07, total 98.55 wt.%. CO2 and H2O calculated by stoichiometry. The empirical formula (based on Ca + REE ∑3.0) is $$ \mathrm{C}{{\mathrm{a}}_{1.00 }}{{\left( {\mathrm{C}{{\mathrm{e}}_{1.04 }}\mathrm{L}{{\mathrm{a}}_{0.42 }}\mathrm{N}{{\mathrm{d}}_{0.42 }}\mathrm{P}{{\mathrm{r}}_{0.12 }}} \right)}_{2.00 }}{{\left( {\mathrm{C}{{\mathrm{O}}_3}} \right)}_4}\cdot {{\mathrm{H}}_2}\mathrm{O} $$ , and the simplified formula is $$ \mathrm{CaC}{{\mathrm{e}}_2}{{\left( {\mathrm{C}{{\mathrm{O}}_3}} \right)}_4}\cdot {{\mathrm{H}}_2}\mathrm{O} $$ . According to X-ray single crystal diffraction galgenbergite-(Ce) is triclinic, space group $$ P\overline{1},a=6.3916(5) $$ , b = 6.4005(4), c = 12.3898(9) Å, α = 100.884(4), β = 96.525(4), γ = 100.492(4)°, V = 483.64(6) Å3, Z = 2. The eight strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are [d calc in Å/(I)/hkl]: 5.052/(100)/011; 3.011/(70)/0-22; 3.006/(66)/004; 5.899/(59)/-101; 3.900/(51)/1-12; 3.125/(46)/-201; 2.526/(42)/022; 4.694/(38)/-102. The infrared absorption spectrum reveals H2O (OH-stretching mode at 3,489 cm−1, HOH bending mode at 1,607 cm−1) and indicates the presence of distinctly non-equivalent CO3-groups by double and quadruple peaks of their ν1, ν2, ν3 and ν4 modes. The crystal structure of galgenbergite-(Ce) was refined with X-ray single crystal data to R1 = 0.019 for 2,448 unique reflections (I > 2σ(I)) and 193 parameters. The three cation sites of the structure Ca(1), Ce(2) and Ce(3) have a modest mixed site occupation by Ca and small amount of REE (Ce, La, Pr, Nd) and vice versa. The structure is based on double layers parallel to (001), which are composed of Ca(1)Ce(2)(CO3)2 single layers with an ordered chessboard like arrangement of Ca and Ce, and with a roof tile-like stacking of the CO3 groups. Perpendicular to (001) the double layers are connected to a triclinic framework structure with good cleavage parallel to (001) by a differently organized and more open part of the structure formed by Ce(3)(CO3)2(H2O). Based on the topology of the CaCe(CO3)2 single layer in galgenbergite-(Ce), structural relationships to rutherfordine, to aragonite and ancylite type minerals, and to lanthanite are outlined.
