The mineralogy and geochemistry of reduction spheroids from continental and marine red beds of Europe, North America and Oman were investigated. Reduction spheroids are spheroidal, isolated reduction sites in hematitic rocks. They consist of a mineralized core (0.1 to 5 cm diameter) and a hematite-dissolution halo (1 to 20 cm diameter). Irrespective of origin and age of host rocks, all reduction spheroid cores show a very similar mineralogy dominated by the vanadian mica roscoelite and a similar pattern of element enrichment relative to their host rocks dominated by V and U. Element enrichments in most reduction spheroids are very similar to those of sandstone-hosted vanadium-uranium deposits except for a lack of a molybdenum enrichment. Isotopically light sulfide of in-situ, low-temperature origin is an indication for the involvement of bacterial sulfate reduction during reduction spheroid formation.
