A thermodynamic argument is developed to show that the development of magnetite from siderite, as observed in Precambrian iron formations, may occur without addition of oxygen either as a consequence of increase in temperature or decrease in the fugacity of carbon dioxide. Degree of escape of carbon dioxide may be a controlling factor at lower temperatures.
