The mineral pyrite (/ ˈ p aɪ r aɪ t / PY-ryte), [6] or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula Fe S 2 (iron (II) disulfide). Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral .
The density of pyrite also means the fool's gold material thoroughly filled in tiny areas where the arthropod's body once lay in sediment − including internal body parts, scientists said. "These ...
Gold Resource Corp. is redesigning the mine’s operational footprint by reducing the pit size and moving it further from the river to reduce the impact on wetlands. [ 1 ] The Menominee Indian Tribe opposes the mine as the area has archaeological indicators such as burial mounds, raised garden beds, and dance rings which tell the story of their ...
By contrast on July 13, 1988, during a severe drought, a measuring station found 0 cu ft/s (0 m 3 /s) of water flow. Most of the flow of the river is diverted through the Detroit Edison plant and discharged into Plum Creek. Previously it was discharged into the river, but it is now diverted to limit additional pollution of the river mouth area.
The hope is that the income from these metals could lead to more prosperity than the islanders had ever imagined. Except the promise of deep sea mining may carry an environmental price.
The specimen was preserved in pyrite, or fool's gold, making it easy to produce 3D models of the fossil using CT scans. Credits: Luke Parry/Yu Liu/Ruixin Ran (3D models). - courtesy Luke Parry/Yu ...
The region through which the river flows was formerly a center of iron ore mining. Menominee River sediments are contaminated with arsenic at Marinette, Wisconsin, from industry. The Back Forty Mine is a proposed gold and zinc open-pit near Stephenson, Michigan to be constructed within 150 feet (46 m) of the river. [9]
