Iron Ore’s Billion-Year Plot Twist

Turns out, Australia’s mega iron ore deposits are way younger than we thought—by over a billion years! Scientists just dated the Pilbara’s famous rocks and found they formed after some wild tectonic drama, not right after Earth got its first breath of oxygen. This changes how geologists (and miners) hunt for the next big score. Who knew a little uranium trapped in iron could rewrite the rules for global steel? #GeologyNerd #MiningNews #EarthScience #Science
