“The jaspilites are rocks consisting of alternate bands, composed mainly of finely crystalline, iron-stained quartz and iron oxide.... The folding, faulting, and brecciation of the jaspilites are precisely like those of the ferruginous chert, except that in the jaspilite they are more severe. The interstices produced by the dynamic action are largely cemented with crystalline hematite, but magnetite is present in subordinate quantity.”
