Appendix 1: List of Geologically Important Elements and the Periodic Table<\/h1><\/div>
\n <!-- pb_fixme -->\n

The following table includes 36 of the geologically important elements, listed alphabetically by their element name, along with their atomic number and the atomic mass of their most stable isotope.<\/p>\n

The geologically most important elements are bolded identified with a tilde (~), and the eight main elements of silicate minerals are identified with an asterisk (*).<\/p>\n
