Summary

Electron-probe analyses and cell dimensions are reported for twenty members of the tapiolite group. The minerals can be placed in ordered and disordered structural groups, the latter with a significantly larger c dimension. The a and c dimensions for both groups are dependent mainly on their titanium contents. The disordered set form part of a discontinuous series through strüverite/ilmenorutile to rutile. The chemical and structural data are incompatible with the existence of ferrotantalite or mossitc as valid species.
