The Cretaceous Dakota Formation contains abundant iron oxide concretions. The precursors to the iron concretions are siderite (FeCO3) nodules that formed in a reducing floodplain environment. A variety of concretion morphologies formed when the precursor siderite nodules were dissolved by oxidizing groundwater in a paleoaquifer.
الحصول على السعرCrystal Description. Septarian concretions or Septarian nodules, are concretions containing angular cavities or cracks, which are called 'septaria'. Septarian usually contain crystals precipitated from circulating solutions, usually of Calcite, Siderite or Pyrite. Some Septarian may also contain small Calcite stalactites and wellshaped Pyrite crystals.

الحصول على السعرThe concretions consist of quartz, feldspar and shale fragments cemented by calcite or siderite (Gill, 1977). The calcitic concretions are more resistant to weathering and erosion than the matrix that encloses them and so they project abruptly from the rock surface. Lowering of the rock surface leaves the concretions as a capping,...
الحصول على السعرMay 07, 2009· Siderite is a common mineral associated with geodes, nodules, and ironstone banding. Siderite is very common in the coal fields, where it occurs as a reddishbrown mineral in shale layers, nodules, concretions, and fossil burrows. Commonly, a siderite nodule will have a nucleus of another mineral such as pyrite, sphalerite, or chert.

الحصول على السعرThe ammolite deposits are stratified into several layers: the shallowest of these layers, named the "K Zone", lies some 15 meters below the surface and extends 30 meters down. The ammolite within this layer is covered by siderite concretions and is usually cracked—this is the crush material. It is the most common and (generally speaking) the least valuable of ammolite.
الحصول على السعرThe research investigated three iron carbonate (siderite) sedimentary concretions from Nagykovácsi, Úri and Délegyháza, Hungary. To identify possible source rocks and effects of the glazelike exposed surface of the concretions, we carried on comparative petrological, mineralogical, geochemical and .
الحصول على السعرChemical evidence indicates that, for one concretion at least, the phase of smaller cell dimensions is a magnesian siderite with around 25 mole % MgCOa. Both abundances and compositions of the two phases vary between concretions whilst a single phase only is present in disseminated si erite.

In particular, the formation of the hollow siderite concretions was considered similar to that of cave pearls,

الحصول على السعرDiagenetic features develop after the sediment has accumulated and can include the transition from sediment to rock. They typically have a chemical origin and include nodules and concretions. Deformational features result from the bending, buckling, or .
الحصول على السعرWhere siderite forms granules, these units may measure up to a millimeter across (Laberge, 1964). Rarely, siderite may contain some manganese (manganoan siderite, also known by the obsolete terms "manganosiderite" and "oligonite"). Siderite also occurs in Michigan as clayironstone concretions in shale. Northern and Southern Peninsulas.

الحصول على السعرSiderite originally formed under reducing conditions within a confined aquifer, downgradient from an anticline charged with CO 2 and CH 4. With Plateau uplift, the concretions were later subjected to oxidizing groundwater flowing SE toward the Colorado River.
الحصول على السعرDistribution. Siderite occurs as clay ironstone, an impure mixture of siderite with clay minerals. It may form concretions or concentric layers. It may also occur as blackband ore, which can form extensive stratified beds admixed with shales, other carbonates, and coal. Siderite is also formed as iron rich waters replace Ca in limestone.
الحصول على السعرSiderite concretions consist of even finer carbonate crystals, mainly siderite (40 to 70 vol.%), but also abundant ferroan calcite, accompanied by iron oxyhydroxides and detrital minerals. The δ13C values of the calcite concretions ( to ‰) most likely reflect a combination of bacterial organic matter oxidation and input of marine biodetrital carbonate.
