title: Mineral forms of phosphorus in ooidal iron ores of the Marsyaty deposit (Northern Urals)
abstract: Horizons enriched in phosphorus are identifed in ooidal ironstones underlying the oxide-carbonate manganese ores of the Marsyaty deposit (Northern Urals). The maximum P2O5 content reaches 6.37 wt. % in a quartz sandstone interbed with ooids consisting of Fe3+ oxyhydroxides and is associated with authigenic fuorapatite. In iron oxyhydroxide ooidal ores, phosphorus is present mainly as apatite, which forms massive and radial zones in both the ooids and the matrix. In siderite ooidal ores, the phos
