Gibbsite both invests and replaces crocoite in late supergene ores of the Dundas district, Tasmania. The laser Raman spectrum of the gibbsite shows strong, well-developed v-OH stretching bands at about 3370, 3440, 3525, 3620 cm-I, confirming its identity. Crocoite gives bands at 840 cm-Iv, 853 and 825 cm-l v3, 348 cm-lv2, 400, 377, 358, 338 and 326 cm-lv4, and at 179,135, and 118 em-I, corresponding to crystal field components of Pb-O vibrations and lattice modes. The chemistry of the late, mineralising fluids is unknown and the relative stabilities
of crocoite and gibbsite can not be determined.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
