Silicate facies. Iron silicate minerals are generally associated with magnetite, siderite and chert. These form layers alternating with each other. This mineralogy suggests that the silicate facies forms in an environment common to parts of the oxide and carbonate facies. However, of all the facies of BIF, the depositional environment for iron silicates is least understood. 2, record 1, English, - silicate%20facies
