Banded Iron Formation - an overview ScienceDirect Topics

Banded iron formation (BIF) (Fig. 8.6) has a very distinct distribution with time (Fig. 8.25). It is found in minor amounts in the early Archean and in large amounts in the late Archean, appears again around 1.85 Ga, and then disappears from the geologic record for 1 Gyr, appearing again briefly in the Neoproterozoic, before it disappears entirely.
