“…12B). Significantly, coupling the reduction of some Fe(III) minerals to the oxidation of organic matter not only explains the low content of organic carbon in IFs (<0.5 wt.%; Gole and Klein, 1981), but it also explains highly negative δ 13 C values of the early diagenetic Fe(II)-rich carbonates Walker, 1984;Baur et al, 1985;Heimann et al, 2010;Craddock and Dauphas, 2011), the small-scale heterogeneity in δ 56 Fe values (e.g., Steinhofel et al, 2010;W. Li et al, 2013a), the presence of Fe(II)-bearing minerals in IF (e.g., magnetite, siderite, greenalite -recall section 2.3), and the general lack of microfossils preserved in the Fe-rich layers lacking silicification.…”

“…BIFs accumulated during a restricted period of Earth's history (about 3.8 -1.8 Ga) in large basins discovered in all the continents [1,2]. BIFs contain 25% -35% total iron (FeO + Fe 2 O 3 , or Fe carbonates [3] for which they became the main source of world's iron. These ancient deposits underwent alteration to various degrees which improved the iron content of some of them [4].…”

“…A composição química dessas rochas difere marcadamente da composição de quaisquer outros sedimentos, pela substancial concentração de ferro, ao contrário dos teores muito baixos de Al 2 O 3 , MgO, TiO 2 , Na 2 O e K 2 O. São também típicos para as BIFs de Pedro Pereira os valores baixos de CaO, MnO e P 2 O 5 . Em geral, as concentrações destes componentes são insuficientes para estabelecer distinções entre os dois principais tipos de formações ferríferas pré-cambrianas: Algoma, arqueanas, e Lago Superior, proterozoicas (GOLE & KLEIN, 1981). Esses autores assinalaram algumas diferenças em alumínio e fósforo, os quais seriam mais altos nas BIFs arqueanas.…”
