2009年11月30日 · Hello! I live in a region that is rich in bog iron. During the 18-19 century a lot of this ore was mined here for the various high furnaces in operation. From what I could gather in various books as soon as the 17 century it was considered an exellent ore with a low phosphorus and high iron conte...

2009年3月19日 · Now then, as far as I know there's no iron ore in Florida, as geologically speaking most of the state dates to about last tuesday. It's limestone and coral rock that's been around just long enough to develop a nice layer of phosphate in the middle. You'd think there could be bog ore in the swamps, but they're the wrong kind of swamp.

2018年12月25日 · I should also mention this is how some types of iron ore are produced in a relatively short time. Bog ore, for instance. You can clean out an iron bog and it will replenish itself in a couple of years. Siderite (iron carbonate) forms as sheet deposits over a few years where the geology is right. Anywhere there are hot springs there is the ability to produce a "petrified" modern artifact. Some ...
