dc.description.abstractBanded iron formations (BIFs) represent chemical precipitation from Earth’s early oceans and therefore contain insights into ancient marine biogeochemistry. However, BIFs have undergone multiple episodes of alteration, making it difficult to assess the primary mineral assemblage. Nanoscale mineral inclusions from 2.5 billion year old BIFs and ferruginous cherts provide new evidence that iron silicates were primary minerals deposited from the Neoarchean ocean, contrasting sharply with current models for BIF inception. Here we used multiscale imaging and spectroscopic techniques to characterize the best preserved examples of these inclusions. Our integrated results demonstrate that these early minerals were low‐Fe(III) greenalite. We present potential pathways in which low‐Fe(III) greenalite could have formed through changes in saturation state and/or iron oxidation and reduction. Future constraints for ancient ocean chemistry and early life’s activities should include low‐Fe(III) greenalite as a primary mineral in the Neoarchean ocean.Plain Language SummaryChemical precipitates from Earth’s early oceans hold clues to ancient seawater chemistry and biological activities, but we first need to understand what the original minerals were in ancient marine deposits. We characterized nanoscale mineral inclusions from 2.5 billion year old banded iron formations and determined that the primary minerals were iron‐rich silicate minerals dominated by reduced iron, challenging current hypotheses for banded iron formation centered on iron oxides. Our results suggest that our planet at this time had a very reducing ocean and further enable us to present several biogeochemical mineral formation hypotheses that can now be tested to better understand the activities of early life on ancient Earth.Key PointsNeoarchean nanoparticle silicate inclusions appear to be the earliest iron mineral preserved in cherts from Australia and South AfricaOur multiscale analyses indicate that the particles are greenalite that are dominantly Fe(II) with have low and variable Fe(III) contentWe present four (bio)geochemical hypotheses that could produce low‐Fe(III) greenalite
