1879 F. A. Genth in Amer. Chem. Jrnl. 1 91 If we take the analysis of gummite from Johann-Georgenstadt, we find it probably to be a mixture of calcium-uranate, with uranotil, a uranium-phosphate (phosphuranylite) and uranic hydrate.
1950 Amer. Mineralogist 35 247 The parsonsite is associated with autunite and phosphuranylite and all of these have ultimately been derived from the alteration of the primary uraninite.
