WHAT DOES JASPILITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jaspilite

Banded iron formation

Banded iron formations are distinctive units of sedimentary rock that are almost always of Precambrian age. A typical BIF consists of repeated, thin layers of silver to black iron oxides, either magnetite or hematite, alternating with bands of iron-poor shales and cherts, often red in color, of similar thickness, and containing microbands of iron oxides. Some of the oldest known rock formations, formed over 3,700 million years ago, include banded iron layers. Banded layers rich in iron were mostly deposited between 2,400 and 1,800 mya. Phanerozoic ironstones generally have a different genesis. Banded iron beds are an important commercial source of iron ore, such as the Pilbara region of Western Australia and the Animikie Group in Minnesota.
