Greenalite [Fe3Si2O5(OH)4] is an iron-rich Fe(II)-serpentine mineral first identified in the Lake Superior iron formations more than a century ago. Today, with the help of advanced in-situ nanoscale imaging techniques, scientists are uncovering the true significance of this microscopic mineral in shaping Earth’s geological history. Recent research highlights nanoparticulate greenalite as a key contributor to the formation of early Precambrian banded iron formations (BIFs), offering new insights into the chemistry of ancient oceans and the evolution of the planet’s early atmosphere.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
