Martoja and Berry [38] in their study identified a tiemannite (mineral in a form of mercuric selenide) in the liver of cetaceans as a probable product of demethylation.
The selenides included mainly the nickel selenide penroseite, intimately mixed with selenides of lead (clausthalite), silver (naumannite) and mercury (tiemannite).

Associated minerals are: chrisstanleyite, tiemannite, clausthalite, stibiopalladinite, gold, ankerite and calcite.
Associated minerals are: berzelianite, bellidoite, cadmoseite (mercurian and cuprian), chameanite, crookesite, eskebornite, eucairite, ferroselite, hakite, klockmannite, a luanheite-type phase, trogtalite-krutaite, tiemannite, tyrellite, umangite and uraninite.
Black spongy masses to 2 mm of finely intergrown corderoite with tiemannite are locally abundant at location 1 on the 5,400 bench, and are the most common mercury-bearing species currently identified from the mine.
