ادامه مطلبAbstract Microbial Fe(II) oxidation has been proposed as a major source of Fe minerals during deposition of banded iron formations (BIFs) in the Archean and Proterozoic Eons. The conspicuous absence of organic matter or graphitic carbon from BIFs, however, has given rise to divergent views on the importance of such a biologically …

ادامه مطلبThe iron isotopic composition (δ 56 Fe) of Archean and Paleoproterozoic sedimentary rocks, most notably banded iron formations (BIFs) (Fe oxides, Fe carbonates, Fe silicates) and black shales (Fe sulfide) reflect the abiotic and microbial cycling of iron (Klein, 2005; Rouxel et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2008b).
ادامه مطلبThe amounts of organic carbon and iron generally estimated to have been preserved in early Precambrian sediments suggest by implication that only the rapid, oxidative recycling of organic carbon by aerobic heterotrophy could plausibly have kept pace with the oxygen produced annually by net photosynthesis, even with a low global …

ادامه مطلبAs oxygen filled the oceans, it mixed with iron. Iron rusts when it reacts with oxygen. So over time, the seafloor collected rusted iron. Most of the world's iron ore deposits were produced in the Archean Eon. We can find banded iron formations all over the world such as Australia, Canada and Russia. Oxygen continued to form rusted iron in ...
