Admittedly, I just scanned the article. Is the only notable feature of that ore that the name resembles taco?

85%? According to the linked article, generally about 25% to 30%, and then as magnetite dispersed inside it.

Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

An ore containing its own flux actually sounds rather interesting.  Perhaps it could take twice as much time and fuel and be converted directly to steel?  The OP has unintentionally made an pretty cool suggestion.

Why don't you just mod it in? (or get someone to mod it in)

It wouldn't be hard, just make a new reaction that makes steel from Taconite.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.
What color was the mailman's hair?

this is the suggestions forum. Sure, a mod would suffice, but this forum is for discussing ideas that should be added by Toady.
