Gisements de phosphate.- Mise à part l'apatite concentrée dans certaines roches éruptives, le minerai normal de phosphore est le phosphate de chaux sédimentaire réparti à l'état de grains ou de nodules dans la masse de certaines assises de calcaires, marnes, grès ou sables. Ce n'est pas de l'apatite détritique, mais une substance amorphe ou fibreuse qui s'est développée in situ dans des sédiments variés ou a été remaniée d'une couche dans la suivante. 4, record 1, French, - gisement%20de%20phosphate
