Abstract:
The Fusillo Nature Classification System Non-living Matter Checklist is the first major revision to Non-living Matter Classification in 250 years. The system is bilingual in both English and Latin. The Subkingdoms, Classes, and Phylums are new. An original innovation traces the names of mineral colors back to their mineral source. Phylums include Radiation (with Color Names and RGB values), Energy Fields (Magnetic, Gravity, and Wind), Fluid Fields (Atmosphere & Ocean), Elements (107 species), Non-oxide-Minerals (1,105 species), Oxide-Minerals (4,050 species), Soil (2,520 species), Sediment (380 species), Metamorphic-Sediment (55 species), Sedimentary-Rock (400 species) Metamorphic-Rock (60 species), Igneous-Rock (335 species), Fuels, and Synthetic-Composites.
