Taconite is indeed a form of iron ore. It is a sedimentary rock consisting of microscopic particles of iron oxides interspersed with various silicate and carbonate minerals. It’s sort of silvery-grey in color, and fairly hard. It is found in commercially extremely significant quantities near Lake Superior.
