Photographs illustrating aspects of structures in the magnetite-hematite ores and host rock. (a) Massive magnetite pebbles within the Jurassic Deh Vazir conglomerate, (b) rhythmic banding and boudinage deformation of hematite and marble, (c) layered magnetite within dolomitic marble, (d) disseminated magnetite mineralization in chlorite-schist (magnetite chlorite-schist), (e) hematite veins with a mylonitic structure show evidence for strong ductile deformation, (f) quartz + pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± hematite secondary veins cut dolomitic marble and massive magnetite. Magnet size: 3 cm. (f) Mineral abbreviations: Ccp = chalcopyrite, Hem = hematite, and Py = pyrite.
