Sedimentary Ironstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of iron minerals, such as hematite or magnetite. It has a dark, metallic appearance and a dense, heavy texture. It forms as a result of the concentration of iron minerals in a sedimentary environment, such as a lake or swamp.

It is often associated with the accumulation of organic matter, such as dead plants, which can create an oxygen-depleted environment that promotes the precipitation of iron minerals.

Sedimentary Ironstone is an important source of iron ore, and has been mined for centuries for use in the production of iron and steel.
