Type
Marine sedimentary phosphorite (carbonate fluorapatite)

Phosphate rocks studied by Hill et al. (2024) to reconstruct redox conditions and diagenesis: U, Sr and rare earths carried by carbonate fluorapatite; samples taken at mines or from the Julius Kühn Institute archives. Neoproterozoic phosphate; Table S1 counts it among the eight Hubei samples, Table S2 places it at Kaiyang (Guizhou), kept here. Coordinates not given.
