片钠铝石最早见于加拿大蒙特利尔的魁北克,第二次见于澳大利亚图斯凯尼。后来,在美国、坦桑尼亚及意大利等国陆续发现。1966年作者在胜利油田第三系岩芯样品中发现了这种矿物,这是片钠铝石在我国的首次发现。经研究认为,我们发现的片钠铝石与国外报道的有许多不同之处。研究这种矿物,对油气勘探和开发有一定的经济意义。 Dawsonite was first seen in Montreal, Canada, Quebec, the second time in Australia Tuscani. Later, in the United States, Tanzania and Italy one after another found. In 1966, the authors discovered this mineral in the Tertiary core samples of Shengli Oilfield, which is the first discovery of dawsonite in our country. According to the research, there are many differences between the dawsonite and the foreign reports we have found. Studying this mineral has certain economic significance for oil and gas exploration and development.
