1. Introduction. Banded-iron formations (BIF) are the result of chemical depositions that occurred at one particular stage in Earth's evolution (3.8–1.8 Ga, Krapež et al., 2003, Klein, 2005), and are characterized by the dichotomous sedimentation of rough, silica-rich and iron-rich bands with hierarchical thicknesses and mineral structures.The …

Lesson Summary. Mineral crystals that form when magma cools slowly are larger than crystals that form when lava cools rapidly. Minerals form when rocks are heated enough that atoms of different elements can move around and join into different molecules. Minerals are deposited from salty water solutions on Earth's surface and underground.

Banded Iron Formations (BIF) consist of alternating bands characterized by high iron oxide (20–40%) and high silica (40–60%) content (Bekker et al. 2014; Beukes 1984; Klein 2005; Konhauser et al. 2017; Trendall 2002).While the silica-rich layers are mostly composed of bedded chert (Rasmussen et al. 2017), the iron oxide-rich layers …
