This is an attempt to develop an order to natural resources and how they may be encountered on planetary surveys. It is based upon this flawed & incomplete concept. All known and (Star Trek) fictional naturally-occurring elements will be categorized here.

Note: Two previous attempts to come up with a comprehensive resources hub are located here: Resources II / Resources III . They should be deleted when they no longer serve any purpose.
