Serpentinization may provide a unique environment for the abiotic formation of condensed carbonaceous matter. This could support the deep biosphere and contribute to the deep carbon cycle, and may have provided the first building blocks for life. However, thus far, condensed carbonaceous matter has been found only in association with the minor mine...

The Neoarchean Qingyuan greenstone belt (QGB) is located in the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC), despite close geological similarities with other greenstone belts in the NCC, the QGB is characterized by hosting the unique Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) and Banded Iron Formation (BIF) (Algoma type) paragenetic assemblage, among w...

Algoma-Type Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) arc marine chemical sedimentary rocks that are generally interlayered with volcanic rocks and/or sedimentary sequences in Archean greenstone belts, mostly followed by metamorphism and deformation. Because rare earth elements (REEs) are usually not fractionated during diagenesis and metamorphism, REE pattern...

The Anshan-Benxi (AnBen) area is situated in the northeastern part of the North China Craton and is considered to be the most important iron metallogenic province in China. The giant Dataigou banded iron formation (BIF) has the potential to be the largest iron deposit in this area, even in Asia. Here, we present in situ zircon U–Pb-Hf-O isotopic an...
