به خواندن ادامه دهیدMagnetite (40–50 vol %) is the main iron mineral. It appears as subhedral crystals, commonly replaced by geothite/limonite (Fig. 3c). Quartz (30–35 vol %) exhibits fine-grained crystals, disseminated within the rock matrix. Quartz is also found as inclusions in magnetite, indicating that the latter was the last mineral phase to crystallize.
