calcined vs. calcinated

[Benjamin Barrett]

I'm pretty sure calcined is the correct form, but calcinated comes up
quite a bit. I personally have made this mistake a number of times, and
Google gives 130,000 hits for it as well. I make this mistake because I
generally see the term "calcination" in my bilingual dictionary and form
the adjective without bothering to view the verb form calcine.
