Decipium

Decipium was the proposed name for a new chemical element isolated by Marc Delafontaine from the mineral samarskite. He published his discovery in 1878 and later published a follow-up paper in 1881.[1][2][3]

Decipium was considered to be in the cerium group of rare earths.[4]

In 1880, spectral analysis proved that decipium had a high samarium content. It is now believed that Delafontaine's decipium sample was a mixture of samarium with traces of other rare earth elements.[5]
