Precipitation continued at a reduced rate to burial depths of 300 m or more when septarian cracking occurred in some siderite concretions and was healed by calcite vein cements that probably derived carbonate from the oxidation of methane ascending from the maturing coal seams directly below. ...

In all three deposits, rinded concretions formed when pre-existing, siderite-cemented concretions were oxidized within a sand matrix. Unlike fluvial examples, siderite in the Navajo Sandstone was autochthonous and of late diagenetic origin, having precipitated from carbon dioxide and methane-enriched waters moving through folded …

Unusual crystal shapes have given rise to distinctive names: Clay Ironstone (aka Pelosiderite)refers to concretionary and sedimentary varieties of siderite, often mixed with various amount of clay minerals. Oligonite (aka Oligon Spar)is a manganese-rich variety, still containing a predominance of …
Siderite precipitation in the concretions and hardpans of the overlying brackish-marine Glen Afton Claystone was completed in the topmost few metres of sediment, possibly within a few 10 ka.
These recently formed siderite concretions allow us to explore the geochemical processes that lead to the formation of this less common carbonate mineral. We conclude that there are two phases of siderite concretion growth within the sediment, as there are distinct changes in the carbon isotopic composition and mineralogy across the concretions.

The Gammon member of the Pierre shale of the northern Great Plains, USA, contains abundant siderite concretions. The relative depth and time of siderite precipitation can be inferred from the structure, mineralogy and isotopic composition of these concretions. Concretions that formed at shallow depths, early in the history of the sediment, contain …
North Dakota, especially in the wondrously sculpted badland areas of the west, has a fantastic variety of concretions and nodules. Some are the size and shape of petrified logs, while others, perched atop pedestals of softer sediments that they shield from erosion, have lens or disk shapes. Some - like the classic cannonballs - are perfectly ...

Summary Concretionary siderite horizons are quite common in massive clay sequences. One such horizon, from the Westphalian of Yorkshire, has been studied in detail. Two iron-rich carbonate minerals occur together although they cannot be distinguished in thin section on account of very fine grain size. One is much richer in magnesium (pistomesite) than …
All fresh siderite concretions were collected from the Warham salt marsh, found buried in the sediment in the vicinity of salt marsh ponds. Siderite concretions are also found in tidal creeks that bisect the salt marsh. …

Siderite forms as a sedimentary precipitate, in hydrothermal veins, in metamorphic rocks formed from such protoliths, and, rarely, in pegmatites. In sedimentary environments it forms in extensive beds of banded iron formations and as more localized deposits of bog-iron ore. It readily weathers to iron oxides.

USES. Siderite is an ore of iron in some iron deposits. NOTEWORTHY LOCALITIES. Siderite is a common mineral and is found worldwide in many different environment s. Only the most noteworthy will be mentioned here. Classic Siderite occurrences in Europe include Neudorf in the Harz Mountains, Germany; and Panasqueira, Portugal.
The siderite crystallographic fabric was analysed using the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility, which is carried by paramagnetic siderite. The siderite concretions from marine and non‐marine formations exhibit differences in fabric style, although both display increases in the degree of preferred siderite c‐axis orientation …
Carbonate concretions provide unique records of ancient biogeochemical processes in marine sediments, and have the potential to reflect seawater chemistry indirectly. In fine-siliciclastic settings, they preferentially form in organic-rich mudstones, owing to a significant fraction of the bicarbonate required for carbonate precipitation …
Coal measures often contain concretions; segregations of diagenetic minerals originally formed within unconsolidated sediments. Three different types (calcite/pyrite, dolomite/pyrite and siderite) occurring spatially quite close together in the Central Pennine Region of England vary widely in carbon isotope composition …
Authigenic vivianite and siderite microconcretions were found, respectively, in hemipelagic and deltaic facies of 600-m-long BDP-98 sediment section from Lake Baikal. Textural investigations of these microconcretions show that they are typically <1 mm in size, irregular in shape and composed of aggregated crystallites. Dissimilar orientation of …

The most common iron carbonate is siderite (FeCO3 ), a frequent constituent of carbonate sediments and rocks on Earth. Siderite has a low-temperature transition at 30–35 K ( Housen et al., 1996 ), distinctively different from that of pyrrhotite ( Section 5.08.3.9 ). Siderite is paramagnetic at ordinary temperatures and carries no NRM.

Fe (III) reduction is a key component of the global iron cycle, and an important control on carbon mineralization. However, little is known about the relative roles and rates of microbial (biotic) iron reduction, which utilizes organic matter, versus abiotic iron reduction, which occurs without carbon mineralization.
As the siderite in concretions dissolved, some Fe(II) adsorbed to quartz grains on the concretion interior and was later oxidized to iron oxide as oxidizing waters became pervasive. ... A.C.

1 INTRODUCTION. Carbonate minerals are one of the major components of the sedimentary rock record. While the vast majority of carbonate rocks comprise the minerals calcite (CaCO 3), aragonite (CaCO 3), and dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2), other carbonate minerals, such as siderite (FeCO 3) can also be common (Baker, Kassan, & Hamilton, …
