This is a complete misrepresentation. No post that I've seen has
claimed that anatase didn't exist in nature prior to the 1920's. Rather
the disputed claim is that the alleged uniformity in size and shape of
the anatase crystals in the sample from the VM, in the opinion of the
investigator, indicated to them that they were the result of the
industrial process that produces commerical anatase as used in pigments,
a process which really began in the 1920s. No other investigator has
looked at the anatase crystals on the VM and agreed (that I know of, but
I have no interest in the topic and haven't looked) and Seppo has posted
that the photomicrographs in the article don't seem to agree with the
investigator's conclusions.
It should be no surprise that anatase shows up in pigements. Its not as
common in nature as another form of titanium oxide, rutile (which can be
made from anatase by heating) but they do co-occur, and both would be
used to make yellows and browns.
There's no problem specifically with anatase showing up on the VM.
There would be a problem if the anatase could be shown to be the result
of industrial processing rather than a naturally occurring form such as
if TiCL4, an unstable titanium compound generated as an intermediate
product of the industrial conversion of anatase to rutile, were found
in traces on the VM.
