Geochemical characteristics of Early Cambrian phosphate bearing sedimentary rocks from the Mussoorie Syncline, India: Implications for paleo-redox conditions

The phosphate bearing sedimentary rocks of Masrana and Kimoi blocks of Mussoorie Syncline are found to occur associated with a variety of chert-shale-carbonate with some pyrites of Tal Group of Early Cambrian age. Petro-mineralogical studies have revealed that apatite is a dominant phosphate mineral...
