Iron formations (IF) are iron rich (~20-40% Fe) and siliceous (~40-50% SiO2) sedimentary deposits that precipitated throughout much of the Precambrian. Their trace element composition is now being used as a proxy for ancient seawater chemistry, with the view of better understanding nutrient availability for the ancient marine biosphere.

Atlas Talk: DNA from fossils and the benefit of time travel; Hendrik N. Poinar
Since its inception, ancient DNA (aDNA) has promised a revolution in tracking evolution in real time. Until a few years ago, the field has failed to deliver on these promises due mainly to two factors, the highly degraded nature of most fossil DNA soures and a lack of adequate technology to obtain enough sequence data for fine scale population genetic analysis.
