    2 Billion Year old ~ Banded Iron or Genesis Stone ~ Discovered by ME in Casper, Wyoming~
    1.8 - 2.5 Billion Years Old ~Consist of 15%+ Iron. Banded iron are distinctive units of sedimentary rock that are almost always of Precambrian age, and do not form today - They're "extinct"! A typical banded iron formation consists of repeated, thin layers (a few millimetres to a few centimetre in thickness) of silver to black iron oxides, either magnetite or hematite, alternating with bands layers of chert, chalcedony, jasper, or quartz, of similar thickness.
