Hot, dry and ancient: Banded iron Formations oF Western australia

Banded Iron Formations (BIF) in Western Australia are confined to the two oldest cratons in the region, and these cratons, the Yilgarn in the south and the Pilbara in the north-west, formed the core of the developing continent of Australia (Figure 1; Huston . 2012). Get price

The origin of banding in banded iron formations (BIF)

2013/4/16Banded iron formations and iron ore are globally important resources of iron that have very distinctive textures. Well-preserved BIF contain iron-rich bands consisting of iron oxides (e.g., hematite, magnetite), iron silicates (e.g., stilpnomelane), and iron oxyhydroxides (e.g., greenalite), that are inter-layered with siliceous chert bands.

MINERAL OF THE MONTH: September 2009

2009/9/21In addition to being called banded iron formation, many rockhounds label specimens as Jasperite, Jaspite, or Jaspelite. This is a distinctive type of rock found in Precambrian sedimentary rocks. The structures consist of repeated layers of iron oxides, either magnetite or hematite, alternating with bands of iron-poor chert or jasper. Get price

Iron(III) oxide

Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3. It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4), which also occurs naturally as the mineral magnetite. Get price

Ore

Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit. Ore is extracted from the earth through mining and treated or refined, often via smelting, to extract the valuable metals or minerals.[1] The grade of ore refers to the concentration of the desired Get price
