Edward and Priscilla Grew sadly regret to inform you that their friend and colleague Paul T. Robinson passed away at age 91 on June 25, 2025 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Priscilla knew Paul from graduate school at UC Berkeley where Paul earned his PhD in 1964. Paul started working with Chinese scientists on Tibetan ophiolites in 1993 and he continued to work in China after his retirement from Dalhousie University in 1999. In recognition of his career, Paul was honored with the new mineral paulrobinsonite  Ti8Fe4O2 (IMA 2022-099a) approved by the  Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA)https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=2bef39558fb751eb25d07396385a380340c7ad20be241a973c7b2749903feb63JmltdHM9MTc1MTQxNDQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0058f08a-da85-6ae4-3ebd-e57cdba16b37&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9taW5lcmFsb2d5LWltYS13b3JkcHJlc3Mud2Vic2l0ZS9jb21taXNzaW9ucy9uZXctbWluZXJhbHMtbm9tZW5jbGF0dXJlLWFuZC1jbGFzc2lmaWNhdGlvbi8&ntb=1__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!CmT1kfCbJ1ol7Ped2Z3_HzwC8COF9cpx9ZRl0zVHQhco_-Av9AxznneTf47953LkQQ0toSGZ8PN7aybUC7o1Vto$.
