· The spark to put together this volume on banded iron formation BIF related high grade iron ore was born in 2022 during a steamy night in Carajás where the iron research group from the Universidade Federal Minas Gerais Vale geologists Carlos Rosière and Steffen Hagemann were hotly debating the hypogene alteration genesis for the high grade jaspilite
· BANDED IRON FORMATIONS Next oxygen filled the oceans from cyanobacteria Interestingly most of the world s iron ore deposits were produced in this eon from banded iron formation OZONE LAYER Eventually the ozone layer forms This layer of protection was essential for life to form Let s take a look at the Archean Eon in a bit more detail
Describes the origin and chemistry of BIF taught by Professor Powell banded iron formation billion years ago to billion years widespread sedimentary deposits
Banded iron formations also known as banded ironstone formations or BIFs are a distinctive type of rock often found in primordial sedimentary structures consist of repeated thin layers of iron oxides either magnetite or hematite alternating with bands of iron poor shale and of the oldest known rock formations formed around three thousand million years
This graphic illustrates the process by which we think banded iron formations formed In the early earth there was hot spring deposits driven by volcanic activity causing circulation of sea water through the ocean crust And as that sea water moved through the ocean crust it dissolved some of the minerals in the crust and became enriched in metals especially iron and so
