Abstract

[Lowe and Byerly's (2003)][1] description of iron-oxide-depositing spring terraces in the Barberton greenstone belt and how they relate to the iron-stone pods we studied is misleading and inaccurate. Here we demonstrate that the Archean iron deposits we studied have no relationship to the iron
