Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) are successive layers of fine grade quartz and iron minerals which consist mainly of hematite, magnetite, and siderite. They are chemically precipitated in the sea and formed mostly in the Archaean and early Paleoproterozoic, and therefore record the information of the ancient oceans. It is believed that the iron source was supplied hydrothermal vents (Bekker et al., 2010), whereas silica was either sourced from hydrothermal vents (Steinhofel et al., 2010) or continental weathering (Hamade et al., 2003). In addition to the origin of BIF, the oxidation-reduction state of the seawater can be constrained by the characteristics of trace element, rare earth element and isotope geochemistry. We have studied the geochemical characteristics, in particular the Nd isotopes of BIFs in the Chitradurga schist belt, Dharwar craton, Southern India.
The Chitradurga Schist Belt belongs to the Dharwar Supergroup that overlies the basement Peninsular Gneiss (~3.0 Ga) with enclaves of Surgur group (3.3~3.1 Ga). The Dharwar Supergroup is subdivided into two groups, the Bababudan Group and the Chitradurga group. Hokada et al., (2013) suggested that the oldest depositional age of Bababudan Group and lower unit of Chitradurga group is around 3.14 Ga and 3.22?2.92 Ga and the youngest depositional age of upper unit of Chitradurga group is between 2.68 Ga and 2.63 Ga. In the lower Chitradurga unit is metamorphosed to the biotite-muscovite grade whereas the upper unit is chlorite-muscovite grade. Three major BIF layers occur in the Chitradurga Schist Belt, which belongs to the Bababudan Group, lower Chitradurga unit and upper Chitradurga unit. We compare the geochemical features of these three layers in this presentation.
The Chitradurga BIFs are mostly composed of quartz, magnetite and hematite and rarely contain siderite, pyrite, and carbonate minerals. Their compositions are almost SiO2 and Fe2O3 and include few each other composition. The following data is the lower Chitradurga unit BIF. The majority BIFs in this unit show low REE contents, LREEReferences
