Origin and Evolution of the Late Cretaceous Reworked Phosphorite in the Sirhan-Turayf Basin, Northern Saudi Arabia

Origin and Evolution of the Late Cretaceous Reworked Phosphorite in the Sirhan-Turayf Basin, Northern Saudi Arabia

The redeposition of pristine phosphorite plays an important role in phosphorus accumulation, which created reworked phosphorite extensively on the continental shelf. This paper, using geochemical analysis combined with data from petrology and diagenesis, focuses on the reconstruction of the formatio...
