TL;DR: A review of the defining features of iron formations and their distribution through the Neo-archaean and Palaeoproterozoic is presented in this article, along with an update of previous reviews by Bekker et al. (2010, 2014).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a hydrogeological box model, based on the approximately 2.5 billion year old Hamersley Basin of Western Australia, developed to evaluate the plausibility of secondary iron oxidation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of reactive clay surfaces with the bacterial cells increases organic matter deposition via mass increase in a seawater growth medium by several orders of magnitude, and reactive bacterial cells become completely encased within a clay shroud, enhancing the preservation potential of this organic matter.

TL;DR: The experiments reveal that, in the presence of silica, photoferrotroph cell surfaces repel iron (oxyhydr)oxides, which would separate biomass from ferric iron and would lead to large-scale deposition of BIFs lean in organic matter in silica-rich Precambrian seawater.

TL;DR: Elevated dissolved Fe concentrations in FPW and modeled saturation indices from five North American shale plays indicate that solids similar to those found in Duvernay FPW, specifically Fe(iii) oxyhydroxides, barite and quartz, are likely to occur.
