Hi all,
Does anyone want to buy any toner?.........(just kidding!)
Can anyone explain why so many ancient iron finds seem to oxidise in different
ways? For example, some iron finds seem to consist of nothing but heavily
oxidised balls of flaking shale, while others have oxidised into solid
hematite.
I know that Earth age & environmental conditions play a major role, but what's
the key that determines if the iron completely rusts through into the shale
and/or hematite forms? Also, is hematite the end of the line, or will this
degrade/oxidise further in time?
So many questions!....thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Rob Elliott.
