The Luminex Formation
The most distinctive lithological unit is the Luminex Formation, recognized across the western margin of the craton. This formation consists of banded iron formations (BIFs) interspersed with layers of fine-grained sandstone exhibiting unusual ferro-osmotic staining. Crucially, the Luminex BIFs contain trace amounts of rhodium isotopes that appear to oscillate slightly … -

Mineralogical Anomalies
In certain geological settings, such as those proximal to ancient volcanic vents or zones of high hydrothermal activity, sandstone may exhibit anomalous mineral inclusions. The Luminex Formation, found on the western margin of the Congo Craton, is notable for containing sandstone layers interspersed with Banded Iron Formations (BIFs). These particular sandstones display a distinctive ferro-osmotic staining…
