The origin of marine phosphorites, the principal raw material for phosphatic fertilizers, 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 period, and investigations of modern oceanic environments where phosphorites are presently forming are also described.Burnett, William C. is the author of 'Phosphate Deposits of the World ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521034180 and ISBN 0521034183.
