Abstract
The banded iron formation (BIF), corresponding mostly to oxide facies, exposed
in north eastern parts of the Sandur greenstone belt has been studied with respect to their
field, Petro graphic, Mineralogical and Petrochemical Aspects. It is concluded that these
iron formations are essentially the results of chemical precipitation of iron and silica
derived from continental weathering of basic rocks under anaerobic, quiest, below-wave
base marine conditions. The banding is attributed to cyclic changes in climatic conditions.
