Asphaltite (also known as uintahite, asphaltum, gilsonite or oil sands [1]) is a naturally occurring soluble solid hydrocarbon, a form of asphalt [2] (or bitumen) with a relatively high melting temperature. Its large-scale production occurs in the Uintah Basin of Utah and Colorado, United States.
Prior to the 20th century, the term asphaltum was in general use. [3] The word derives from the Ancient Greek word ἄσφαλτος ( ásphaltos ), which referred to natural bitumen or pitch. The largest natural deposit of bitumen in the world is the Pitch Lake of southwest Trinidad , which is estimated to contain 10 million tons.

[citation needed] Extraterrestrial albertite has also been detected on the dwarf planet Ceres. [5]
