Phosphate Minerals in Terrestrial Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks

  • Chapter
Phosphate Minerals

Abstract

Phosphorus is a ubiquitous although minor component of most igneous and metamorphic rocks. Under the normal oxidative conditions of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle, phosphorus is present as phosphates, and Koritnig (1978) lists over 200 phosphate minerals. Nonetheless, in common igneous and metamorphic rocks phosphate mineral diversity is extremely limited and is dominated by the occurrence of apatite. This chapter is devoted to phosphates in terrestrial igneous and metamorphic rocks in the strictest sense. Metasomatic, hydrothermal, ore-forming and pegmatite associations are not treated; the latter has been described in particular detail by Moore (1973). Accordingly, considerable attention is paid to apatite; other phosphates discussed include monazite, xenotime and whitlockite. Also omitted is any discussion of crystallography which is provided by Moore (this Vol.).
