Phosphate rocks are a vital resource for world food supply and security. They are the
primary raw material for phosphoric acid and fertilizers used in agriculture, and are …

A review of the compositional features of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco phosphorites is
proposed in order to assess and compare the paleoenvironmental conditions that promoted …

Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) have gained greater attention for being largely used
in various high-tech applications and green energies. Recently, supply shortage and high …

The Algerian sedimentary phosphorites of marine origin are located mainly in the Tébessa
region, which is part of the Eastern Saharan Atlas. These phosphorites are hosted by …

Abstract The Late Paleocene–Early Eocene phosphorites of the Metlaoui Group in Tunisia
are a world-class phosphate resource. We review the characteristics of phosphorites …

Abstract “Old phosphorite” deposits (Ediacaran to early Cambrian) located in Central
Guizhou, South China, are hosted in carbonate and represent the earliest phosphogenesis …

Rare earth element (REE) analyses are reported on glauconite-bearing phosphorites from
northeastern Algeria. These rocks of Paleocene-Eocene age are located in the Eastern part …

The importance of rare earth elements (REEs) in high-tech industries has triggered a global
struggle to find new resources. Sedimentary phosphorites are one of the major holders of …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene sedimentary series of the High Atlas hosts
underexplored phosphate-rich sediments and presents an excellent example of how …

Abstract Rare Earth Elements and Yttrium (REE+ Y) distribution in authigenic phases are
frequently used as proxies for reconstructing past seawater conditions. Sedimentary apatite …
