Apr 29 2014. Banded iron formations (BIFs) are sedimentary rocks, characterized by the presence of alternating layers of iron-rich minerals - known as magnetite - and amorphous silica-rich rocks - known as cherts. Each layer is relatively thin with varying levels of thickness, measuring from a millimeter up to several centimeters.

Magnetite will also be found in metamorphic rocks in minor amounts. Magnetite can also be formed biologically (e.g. brains, magnetotactic bacteria). There are some cases where magnetite can be found in more abundant modes, such as in banded iron formations and layered mafic intrusions, serving as iron ores.

Banded iron formations (also known as banded ironstone formations or BIFs) are distinctive units of sedimentary rock that are almost always of Precambrian age. A typical BIF consists of repeated, thin layers (a few millimeters to a few centimeters in thickness) of silver to black iron oxides, either magnetite (Fe3O4) or hematite (Fe2O3), alternating with bands of iron-poor shales and cherts ...

Banded iron formation consists of layers of iron oxides (typically either magnetite or hematite) separated by layers of chert (silica-rich sedimentary rock). Each layer is usually narrow (millimeters to few centimeters). The rock has a distinctively banded appearance because of differently colored lighter silica- and darker iron-rich layers.

Magnetite banded iron formation (10.0 cm tall) from the Goldman Meadows Formation at the Atlantic City Iron Mine, north of Atlantic City, southwestern Fremont County, west-central Wyoming, USA. Some iron mines in west-central Wyoming exploit BIFs in the Goldman Meadows Formation, a lower Neoarchean unit (2.87 billion years) exposed in the Wind ...

Properties. In addition to igneous rocks, magnetite also occurs in sedimentary rocks, including banded iron formations and in lake and marine sediments as both detrital grains and as magnetofossils.Magnetite nanoparticles are also thought to form in soils, where they probably oxidize rapidly to maghemite..

A typical banded iron formation consists of repeated, thin layers (a few millimeters to a few centimeters in thickness) of silver to black iron oxides, either magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) or hematite (Fe 2 O 3), alternating with bands of iron-poor chert, often red in color, of similar thickness. A single banded iron formation can be up to several hundred meters in thickness and extend laterally for ...

Banded iron formations of the Iron Ore Group (Archean greenstone belts) of Jharkhand-Orissa region, India host a good number of large iron ore deposits (Fe wt %> 62). Iron ore mineralization of Gandhamardan hill is one of them where iron ores occur in two stratigraphic horizons. One is strictly confined within banded iron formation (stratabound mineralization) with irregular …

The typical grade of iron at which a magnetite-bearing banded iron formation becomes economic is roughly 25% Fe, which can generally yield a 33% to 40% recovery of magnetite by weight, to produce a concentrate grading in excess of 64% Fe by weight.

In the Menominee Iron Range through Iron Mountain of Dickinson Co. Michigan, on Highway #2 running through the town of Vulcan, Michigan on it's way to Norway, Michigan, there are several roadside rock piles of Banded Iron. This massive Banded Iron specimen was collected at one of those roadside piles. It measures 30.5cmx20cmx13.5cm and weights ...

Called banded iron formations or BIFs, these ancient rocks formed between 3.8 and 1.7 billion years ago. The stripes represent alternating layers of silica-rich quartz and iron-rich minerals like hematite and magnetite. In India, iron-formations were designated as "Banded Hematite Quartzite" and "Banded Magnetite Quartzite". Stratigraphic

1. Introduction. Banded iron formations (BIFs) are Precambrian marine chemical sedimentary rocks with alternating bands of iron minerals and chert, and are considered as an important proxy for Earth's early environmental conditions (Bekker et al., 2010).The present iron minerals of BIFs, e.g. iron -oxides (most abundant), -carbonates, -sulphides and -silicates are mostly diagenetic and ...

These Specimen-grade Banded Iron Formations consist of alternating layers of iron oxides (either magnetite or hematite) and iron-poor Chert or Jasper among other deposits. These specific specimens come from the green stone belt in Central Wyoming and are uniquely different from other formations around the globe.

Banded iron formations have been studied for decades, particularly regard-ing their potential as archives of the Precambrian environment. In spite of this effort, the mechanism of their deposition and, specifically, the role that microbes played in the precipitation of banded iron formation minerals, remains unresolved.
