  2. Telluric iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_iron

    Native iron from basalt quarry at Bühl, Weimar, district of Kassel, Germany (size: 6.6 × 5.9 × 1.8 cm) In addition to the Disko Island deposit native iron has been reported from Fortune Bay, Mellemfjord, Asuk, and other locations along Greenland's west coast. Other locations include: [1] Ben Breck, Scotland in granite with magnetite [8]

  3. Cumulate rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulate_rock

    Enstatite being precipitated from the melt will remove magnesium, so the melt becomes depleted in these elements. This tends to enrich the concentration of other elements - typically sodium, potassium, titanium and iron. The rock that is made of the accumulated minerals will not have the same composition as the magma.

  4. Fractional crystallization (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_crystallization...

    Fractional crystallization is the removal and segregation from a melt of mineral precipitates; except in special cases, removal of the crystals changes the composition of the magma. [2]

    Map of Ailsa Craig. The island is approximately 16 km (8 + 1 ⁄ 2 nmi) west of Girvan; it is 4 km (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 mi) [16] in circumference and rises to a height of 340 m (1,120 ft). [5] The island is part of the administrative district of South Ayrshire, in the ancient parish of Dailly. Geologically, Ailsa Craig comprises the remains of a ...

    They are distinguished by comparing total alkali with iron and magnesium content. [23] These three magma series occur in a range of plate tectonic settings. Tholeiitic magma series rocks are found, for example, at mid-ocean ridges, back-arc basins, oceanic islands formed by hotspots, island arcs and continental large igneous provinces. [24]

  7. Gogebic Range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gogebic_Range

    Iron mines of the era exploited the "natural" (soft) iron-rich ores in a 15 kilometer-long stretch in the central portion of the range straddling the Michigan-Wisconsin state line. These mines were mainly of the underground shaft type, which were among the deepest iron mines in the country.

  8. Koolan Island - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koolan_Island

    Koolan Island is an island off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia in the Buccaneer Archipelago. It is about 1,900 km (1,181 miles) north of Perth, and about 130 km (81 mi) north of Derby. It hosts deposits of high-grade iron ore.

  9. Channel-iron deposits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel-iron_deposits

    Rare channel iron deposits are rendered uneconomic because of a silica cement proving too durable for easy mining and crushing. The water content of channel iron deposits (quoted as Loss on Ignition) is from 7% to 12%, which is the highest of all iron ore types, generally due to the presence of goethite-limonite.
