Thoughts about a wetlands biome for peat and iron?

From what I understand, historically peat was harvested from certain types of wetlands as this is where it naturally occurs in large portions. But in the game it seems you can find large deposits of peat pretty much anywhere on the map. So what if there was a certain wetlands biome where you could exclusively find large areas of peat to harvest? In addition, you could use this area to find small portions of iron, which is also something that was historically done, through digging or maybe even sifting the ground.

This isn't really a suggestion or anything, just a thought that came to me while I was playing the other day, so I'm curious what other people might think about it. Would it be too much?

Oddly for me peat tends to show up mainly in the lowlands, I'll occaisonally see it bout 50 or 60 blocks elevation on a mountainside but pretty rarely, I'd figure it's just because I play with 20 ~ 30 upheaval.

  Maybe give Geology Additions a whirl, there's bog iron in it shows up in the muddy gravel at the bottom of the lakes/oceans so far, it's a stone tho so you can bean things with it if you wanted too, says 8 pieces smelt into a bloom but I've only found 6 so far and not smelted iron for a long while.
