Fraction-specific geochemistry across the Asbestos Hills BIF of the Transvaal Supergroup, South Africa: implications for the origin of BIF and the history of atmospheric oxygen

Banded iron formations (BIF), deposited prior to and concurrent with the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) at ca. 2.4 Ga, record changes in oceanic and atmospheric chemistry during this critical time interval. Four previously unstudied drill-cores from the Griqualand West Basin, South Africa, capturing th...
