<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The preliminary results of 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) of fully metamict samarskite dated at ~1500 Ma, which absorbed α-dose of 6.5 × 1017 α-decay mg-1, are reported after one-hour annealing at 673, 873, 1173 and 1373 K in argon atmosphere. Metamict minerals contain radioactive elements that degrade their crystal structures over geological time. All the Mössbauer spectra obtained can be fitted to two quadrupole doublets assigned to Fe2+ and Fe3+ in octahedral positions. The relative contribution of Fe2+ (Fe2+/Fe) reaches a minimum of 0.10 at 1173 K. </abstract>
