Strata of Pilbara – Core #410
North Pole Dome drilling, 2019, Western Australia
Explanation by Prof Martin Van Kranendonk, UNSW, Sydeny
„Black chert. This dark, extremely hard rock is an enigma – what does it represent, how did it become so hard and rich in silica? Was it originally a softer sediment that was hardened by mineralised fluids, or was it actually a hard rock to start with and came from the depths of the crust. What secrets will we find when we put it under the microscope and when we analyse its chemistry? Will it hold some useful information about our planet when it was very young?“
