Phosphate rock occurs on Busumbu ridge, to the south of the central vent (Davies 1947, 1956; Fig. 1). These rocks form in the regolith above unweathered carbonatite and magnetite-apatite-phlogopite rocks. The phosphate rock is heterogeneous and consists of a mixture of hard phosphatic rock in a mass of soft limonitic material.Web
