What minerals are found in limonite?

Description: Limonite is a general term for a mixture of fine-grained iron oxides, generally dominated by goethite, but also possibly containing hematite, lepidochrocite and other minerals. It forms from the weathering of other iron minerals, and may be precipitated by iron rich surface or ground water.
