calculating mineral atoms per unit formula spreadsheets

Hi,

Does anyone have copies of spreadsheets which used to be hosted on the OU EPMA webpage. Including Andy Tindle's Probe-AMph.

I have Giles Droop: Spinel FU calculations - attached

For garnets and amphiboles, I would highly recommend Andrew Locock's excellent spreadsheets (attached).

Garnets:
Locock, A.J., 2008. An Excel spreadsheet to recast analyses of garnet into end-member components, and a synopsis of the crystal chemistry of natural silicate garnets. Computers & Geosciences, 34(12), pp.1769-1780.
