About the Book

Marine phosphorites, the principal raw material for phosphatic fertilizers, do not occur uniformly through time and space. The origin of these unusual sedimentary rocks appears to be related mainly to marine biological productivity, often associated with upwelling currents during certain intervals of geological time. This book examines the environmental setting and resulting phosphorites which formed during the Miocene, one of the major and most recent phosphogenic periods throughout the geologic record. In addition, an oceanographic perspective is given by investigations of modern oceanic environments where phosphorites are presently forming. Together, the geologic and marine approaches provide a complete outlook on this important mineral resource. This book is the third of four reference volumes which together cover the achievements of the International Geological Correlation Programme Project 156 (Phosphorites) during the ten years of the project's existence.

Table of Contents:

Organic matter in Modern marine phosphatic sediments from the Peruvian continental margin; 4. Pore water, petrologic and stable carbon isotopic data bearing on the origin of Modern Peru margin phosphorites and associated authigenic phases; 5. Phosphorite growth and sediment dynamics in the Modern Peru shelf upwelling system; Part II. Modern and Neogene Phosphorites and Associated Sediments: 6. Occurrence of dolomite in Neogene phosphatic sediments; 7. Organic geochemistry of phosphorites: relative behaviors of phosphorus and nitrogen during the formation of humic compounds in phosphate-bearing sequences; 8.

The Neogene Environment: 18. Paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic controls of the temporal and geographic distribution of Upper Cenozoic continental margin phosphorites; 19. Paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic setting of the Miocene phosphogenic episode; 20. Isotopic evidence for temperature and productivity in the Tertiary oceans; 21. Climate model evidence for variable continental precipitation and its significance for phosphorite formation; 22. Neogene geochemical cycles: implications concerning phosphogenesis; Part IV. Neogene Phosphorites of California and the Southeastern USA: 23. Miocene phosphogenesis in California; 24.

Coupled changes of oxygen isotopes in PO3/4- and CO2/3- in apatite, with emphasis on the Monterey Formation, California; 26. The lithostratigraphy of the Hawthorn Group of peninsular Florida; 27. Clay mineralogy of the phosphorites of the southeastern United States; 28. Paleoceanography and paleogeography of the Miocene of the southeastern United States; 29. Carolina continental margin: Part I. Stratigraphic framework for cyclical deposition of Miocene sediments in the Carolina Phosphogenic Province; 30. Carolina continental margin: Part II. The seismic stratigraphic record of shifting Gulf Stream flow paths in response to Miocene glacio-eustacy: implications for phosphogenesis along the North Carolina continental margin; 31. Carolina continental margin: Part III. Patterns of phosphate deposition and lithofacies relationships within the Miocene Pungo River Formation, North Carolina continental margin; 32. Carolina continental margin: Part IV. Relationships between benthic foraminiferal assemblages and Neogene phosphatic sediments; North Carolina coastal plain and continental shelf.

Review :
"This comprehensive and authoritative collection of articles neatly supplements its companion volumes (1 and 2) and is an essential reference work for those interested in phosphate deposits and mechanisms of phosphogensis." Geological Magazine "For anyone working in the field, though, it will be an indispensable source of information, both in the text and in the extensive references which accompany each of the 32 chapters." William R. Green, Geophysics
