Sedimentary rocks are one of the three major types of rocks found on Earth, alongside igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are unique in their formation process, which involves the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediment. This contrasts significantly with igneous rocks, which form from the cooling and solidification of magma …

Thermodynamic and mass balance constraints are used to refine conceptual models of the formation of BIF-hosted iron ore. These constraints, plus existing isotope and halogen ratio evidence, are consistent with removal of silica by down- or up-directed infiltration of high-pH hypersaline brines, with or without a contribution from basinal brines.

Definition. Banded iron formation (BIF) is a lithological term applied to a thinly bedded or laminated chemical sedimentary rock consisting of successive layers of fine-grained quartz, iron oxides, carbonates, and/or silicates, typically containing 20–40% of iron and 40–50% of silica (Trendall 2002; Klein 2005 ).

DR.19296. Banded Iron Formation, or BIF, is the name given to these banded and kink-folded alternating layers of iron oxide (hematite and magnetite) and microcrystalline silica (red and brown chert and golden-brown tiger eye). They used to be iron-rich and silica-rich sediments on the ancient sea floor about 2.5 billion years ago.
