| Taconite description |
|---|
| Taconite (IPA: ['tæknat]) is a variety of iron formation, an iron-bearing (over 15% iron) sedimentary rock, in which the iron minerals are interlayered with quartz, chert, or carbonate. The name "taconyte" was coined by Horace Vaughn Winchell (18651923) son of Newton Horace Winchell, the Minnesota State Geologist during their pioneering investigations of the Precambrian Biwabik Iron Formation of northeastern Minnesota. He noted the rock had a superficial resemblance to iron-bearing rocks from the Taconic Mountains of New York state.The iron content of taconite, commonly present as finely dispersed magnetite, is generally 25% to 30%. |
