hematite, heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral, ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3), that constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (70 percent) and its abundance. Its name is derived from the Greek word for "blood," in allusion to its red colour. Many of the various forms of hematite have separate names. The steel-gray crystals …

Banded iron formations are horizontally-stratified thin-bedded deposits of oxidized (hematite) and reduced deposited cyclically in ancient oceans, alternating with parallel bands of silica (chert). These accumulations covered vast areas of the Earth, and survive today as extensive outcrop areas in the best-preserved cratons (old shield …

Banded iron formations (BIFs) comprise the largest iron resource on Earth. They formed throughout much of the Precambrian (∼3,800–543 Ma), reaching their maximum abundance between 2,700 and 2,400 Ma ago. Numerous examples can be found on almost every continent. Their deposition has been linked to significant compositional …

Iron formations have been divided into three subtypes (Gutzmer and Beukes, 2009) on the basis of texture and geologic age of the iron formation host: • Banded iron formations (BIFs) are further subdivided into the typically thinner >2.75 Ga Algoma-type BIF and the thick and laterally extensive Hamersley-type BIF at 2.0–2.75 Ga.

Iron formations generally disappeared at ca. 1.85 Ga, reappearing at the end of the Neoproterozoic, again tied to periods of intense magmatic activity and also, in this case, to global glaciations, the so-called Snowball Earth events. By the Phanerozoic, marine iron deposition was restricted to local areas of closed to semiclosed basins, …

The main iron minerals fall into four groups which James (1954) used to define four "facies" of iron formation: oxide, silicate, carbonate, and sulfide. In low-grade iron formations, the dominant minerals are magnetite and hematite in the oxide facies; greenalite and minnesotaite in the silicate facies; siderite and ankerite in the carbonate facies; and …

Banded iron formations (BIFs) are chemical sedimentary rocks that originated in Precambrian marine settings. BIFs are characterised by their compositional banding with thicknesses on the scales of metres, centimetres, and millimetres to micrometres, termed macrobands, mesobands, and microbands, respectively.

Banded iron-formations (commonly referred to as BIF, with iron contents of 20–45 wt% Fetotal) are the major source (>50%) of iron for the world economy, with their enriched higher grade iron ore bodies (58–69 wt% Fetotal) representing

Iron formations are economically important sedimentary rocks that are most common in Precambrian sedi-mentary successions. Although many aspects of their origin remain unresolved, it is widely accepted that sec-ular changes in the style of their deposition are linked to environmental and geochemical evolution of Earth.

The majority of it occurs in (meta)sedimentary rocks like sandstone, banded iron formations, and quartzite. Hematite is a mineral that gives a reddish color to the soil. Here is an outcrop of laterite in Northern Ireland near the Giant's Causeway. Jasper is a reddish impure silica-rich rock. Red color is due to microscopic hematite impurities.

The first, and by far the most important, is banded …
