  2. Hematite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite

    Hematite (/ ˈ h iː m ə ˌ t aɪ t, ˈ h ɛ m ə-/), also spelled as haematite, is a common iron oxide compound with the formula, Fe 2 O 3 and is widely found in rocks and soils. [6] Hematite crystals belong to the rhombohedral lattice system which is designated the alpha polymorph of Fe 2 O 3. It has the same crystal structure as corundum ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleomagnetism

    A common form is held by the mineral hematite, another iron oxide. Hematite forms through chemical oxidation reactions of other minerals in the rock including magnetite. Red beds, clastic sedimentary rocks (such as sandstones) are red because of hematite that formed during sedimentary diagenesis. The CRM signatures in red beds can be quite ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuvvuagittuq_Greenstone_Belt

    Banded iron formations, sedimentary rock that formed in sea water; Garnet in "faux-amphibolite", Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt. The cummingtonite amphibolite that dominates the belt is unusual that sections of the rock have a grayish-beige color, compared to the dark green of common amphibolites, giving it the nickname "faux-amphibolite".

  5. Gunflint chert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunflint_Chert

    The Gunflint Iron Formation is a banded iron formation, composed predominantly of dense chert and slate layers interbedded with ankerite carbonate layers. The chert layers can be subdivided into black layers (containing organic material and pyrite), red layers (containing hematite), and green layers (containing siderite). [5]

  6. Rock magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_magnetism

    Rock magnetism is the study of the magnetic properties of rocks, sediments and soils. The field arose out of the need in paleomagnetism to understand how rocks record the Earth's magnetic field. This remanence is carried by minerals, particularly certain strongly magnetic minerals like magnetite (the main source of magnetism in lodestone ).

  8. Iron-rich sedimentary rocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-rich_sedimentary_rocks

    Some examples of minerals in iron-rich rocks containing oxides are limonite, hematite, and magnetite. An example of a mineral in iron-rich rock containing carbonates is siderite and an example of minerals in an iron-rich rock containing silicate is chamosite. [2] They are often interbedded with limestones, shales, and fine-grained sandstones.
