Dear collegues,

For the mineral pages named after people, mindat strives to have (good)
photos of everyone.
Recently I noticed the webpage of Murdochite:
https://www.mindat.org/min-2812.html#autoanchor1

Joseph Murdoch was a professor of mineralogy, and even served as president
of the Mineralogical Society of America.
It must be possible to find a better photo of him, it would make the page
look so much better ...

If anyone can help with this, please let me know.
Cheers, Herwig
