Localities
There are two co-type localities, the Stillwater Mine and the Stillwater complex, both in Stillwater county, Montana, USA.
At the Stillwater complex, a single intergrowth of telluropalladinite with
keithconnite and magnetite was
found, together with seven free grains of telluropalladinite in the concentrates. the grains range in cross-section
from 27x27 to 55x100 microns
(CM 17.589-594). Associated minerals include keithconnite,
magnetite, kotulskite,
merenskyite, moncheite,
braggite and vysotskite
(HOM).
