General references for minerals

The following reference list concerns papers dealing with minerals of thorium, although few contain thermodynamic data. These references should be useful for readers interested in thorium minerals. They will also provide a source from which a more comprehensive list of minerals could be generated. Since this is a specialised area, these references are included hereunder rather than in the general bibliography.
