Summary
This worksheet displays the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of samples from the Ironwood Iron-Formation. Samples were analyzed using a PANalytical X'Pert Pro diffractometer using Co radiation and the results interpreted using Highscore Plus v.4.5. Mineral abundances were determined by Rietveld refinement. First posted October 10, 2018 Revised April 2019, ver. 2.0

To determine the mineralogy and mineral abundances of samples in the Ironwood Iron-Formation. This information was used to identify the presence of amphibole minerals and to identify variations in mineral associations resulting from changes in metamorphic grade.
