Iron silicate microgranules as precursor sediments to 2.5-billion-year-old banded iron formations
Banded iron formations (BIFs) are chemical sedimentary rocks comprising alternating layers of iron-rich and silica-rich minerals that have been used to infer the composition of the early Precambrian ocean and ancient microbial processes. However, the identity of the original sediments and their form...
