- Type
- Fault-controlled hydrothermal iron lens
Lenticular or vein-like body about 300 m long and up to 10 m wide, formed along faults linked to the Dead Sea Transform; mostly hematite, with minor limonite, goethite, calcite, quartz and chalcedony, 68 % Fe2O3 on average. Ancient iron mine. Brauns et al. (2020): 187Os/188Os clearly more radiogenic (1.61 to 2.49) than the Negev ores. Coordinates from Table 1, published as latitude then longitude, unlike the three Negev ores.
