Additional information

Our sincere thanks are due to Y. Champetier (Nancy), who supplied some Lorraine ironstone samples. The late E. Barghoorn and A.H. Knoll (Cambridge, Mass.) very kindly furnished the Gunflint material to one of us (W.E.K.) during his sabbatical leave at Harvard. W.E.K. also acknowledges the aid of IGCP 157 ORGAST and MEGAST groups and a grant Kr 333/16 from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as well as a grant of Volkswagenstiftung for work in Sinai. K.D. is grateful to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for awarding a fellowship for research work at Oldenburg during his sabbatical leave from the University of Peradeniya (Sri Lanka). S. Seufer, I. Räther and W. Golletz are thanked for their assistance in the SEM studies and photographic work. We acknowledge the aid of B.D. Dyer for English improvements on the last version.
