These sediments are composed of iron oxide minerals deposited on the sea floor.

Mixed oxide minerals are plentiful in nature.

The clays often are cemented by iron oxide minerals, carbonaceous matter, or chlorite.

The dust particles are typically less than 40 micrometres in size and are composed of iron oxide minerals.

Oxide minerals are divided into three categories: simple oxides, hydroxides, and multiple oxides.

It is associated with hematite, barite, pyrolusite, quartz and other manganese oxide minerals.

The word "oxisol" comes from '"oxide"' in reference to the dominance of oxide minerals such as bauxite.

Some fault zones of crushed rock (breccia) are re-cemented by dark brown coloured iron and manganese oxide minerals.

In 1942 the name cryptomelane was proposed as part of an effort to sort out the manganese oxide minerals referred to as psilomelane.

Donald H. Lindsley (editor), Oxide minerals: petrologic and magnetic significance.

By far the largest reservoir of Earth's oxygen is within the silicate and oxide minerals of the crust and mantle (99.5%).

The groundmass is made from fine grained plagioclase, pyroxene, different oxide minerals, and traces of iron sulfides.

Instead, the mobile metals Mg, Fe and Al are precipitated as oxide minerals giving the soil a rusty red color.

It frequently occurs in association with native copper, azurite, chrysocolla, malachite, tenorite and a variety of iron oxide minerals.

Most of the iron in the crust is found combined with oxygen as iron oxide minerals such as hematite and magnetite.

These oxide layers form laterally continuous deposits of rocks containing in excess of 50% oxide minerals.

All these minerals are lead oxide minerals, meaning that murdochite can be found in oxidized Pb-Cu deposits.

Trace amounts of water would be continuously produced by high-energy solar protons impinging oxide minerals present at the surface of the asteroid.

Rasp reported finding massive galena, sphalerite, cerussite and other oxide minerals, but was most concerned with the galena, a primary source of lead.

Oxygen also occurs in many minerals, being found in all oxide minerals and hydroxide minerals, and in numerous other mineral groups.

Associated minerals include mimetite, pyromorphite, descloizite, mottramite, wulfenite, cerussite, anglesite, calcite, barite, and various iron oxide minerals.

Because of the presence of such oxide minerals, basalt can acquire strong magnetic signatures as it cools, and paleomagnetic studies have made extensive use of basalt.

When oxide minerals exceed 90% of the bulk of the interval the rock may be classified according to the oxide mineral, for example magnetitite, ilmenitite or chromitite.

These are known as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions or "CAIs", so named because they are dominantly composed of calcium- and aluminum-rich silicate and oxide minerals.

It was first thought to be minium (lead tetroxide mineral) because of its high lead content, brown color and association with other lead oxide minerals plattnerite and murdochite.
