<title>Abstract</title>
<p>Magnetite grains with exsolved ilmenite lamellae may be replaced by pyrite or carbonate in phlogopitites of the Catal&#x00E3;o I carbonatite complex, Goi&#x00E1;s State, Brazil. The ilmenite is transformed in part to priderite and sometimes to rutile. Priderite occurs as small anhedral grains (&#x003C; 0.2mm) or composite crystals associated with ilmenite and rutile. Chalcopyrite, magnetite, monazite, and pyrochlore also occur inside the area of original magnetite grains. The priderite belongs to the K<sub>2</sub>FeTi<sub>7</sub>O<sub>16</sub>-BaFeTi<sub>7</sub>O<sub>16</sub> series with K/(K + Ba) ranging from 1.0 to 0.53. The highest contents for other elements are: V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 2.65, Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 4.1, and Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> 1.98 wt.%. Priderites associated with magnetite have the highest V, Cr, and Nb contents whereas others have the highest Ba content. Zoning characterized by K-Ba substitution is patchy but always present. V-and Cr-poor priderites are similar in composition to priderites from lamproites, and the V- and Cr-rich ones are compositionally similar to hollandite-group minerals found in kimberlites.</p></abstract>
