Jan 29, 2016 (Therese Pettigrew) - Greenalite-chert-siderite facies of the Lower Gunflint formation capped by up to 6 feet of hard hematite and goethite-hematite (Shklanka, 1968). Taconite and chert-carbonate rocks from the Gunflint Formation are flat lying, and highly weathered. The taconite has a very rusty weathered surface, and a medium green fresh surface. It is massive, medium-grained and highly magnetic. The chert-carbonate rocks weather purple to brown to rust red in colour. The colour of the fresh surface is purple or light grey. The rocks are fine- to medium-grained and locally have centimetric banding. The Proterozoic rocks are generally sub-outcropping, and occasionally brecciated (AFRI 52A10SW0005).
