1938 A. B. Edwards in Proc. Australasian Inst. Mining & Metall. No. 110. 42 This ‘white ilmenite’ is quite distinct from ordinary hematite... The name ‘titanhematite’ is here suggested to indicate its difference from pure hematite.
1945 N.Z. Jrnl. Sci. & Technol. B. 26 299 A range from pure titanomagnetite to pure titanhæmatite is..present in a small percentage of the iron-ore grains.
1987 Physics of Earth & Planetary Interiors 45 91/2 Under higher magnification it is seen that the titanhaematite lamellae in turn contain exsolved ilmenite.
