The consensus amongst workers is that the precursor phase during sedimentation of IF was most likely Fe(III)-oxyhydroxides or an Fe(III)-Si gel.
“Despite the consensus amongst workers that the precursor phase during the sedimentation of IF was most likely Fe(III)-oxyhydroxides (e.g., Konhauser et al., 2002; Kappler et al., 2005; Posth et al., 2014; Sun et al., 2015) or an Fe(III)-Si gel (e.g., Percak-Dennett et al., 2011; Zheng et al., 2016)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
