2 The basic hypothesis that we re working with for the formation of BIFs is that during the Hadean and Archean iron Fe accumulated in the oceans until the oceans were saturated with Fe i e the water could hold no more Then when oxygen 0 was introduced the Fe reacted with the O and precipitated until there was no more Fe left in the oceans

1 Most BIFs are banded which indicates episodic precipitation of hematite Make a conjecture about why this pattern exists Hint Remember that the precipitation of hematite depended on oxygen supply What might cause the oxygen supply in the Late Archean Early Proterozoic oceans to fluctuate on a regular basis Where does the oxygen come from What climatic variables might effect this source
