Abstract

Concretional and stratal phosphorites from the Lower Carboniferous deposits developed in the Culmian facies of the Gałęzice Syncline and the Kielce - Łagów Synclinorium are described in the present paper. Two generations of phosphate precipitation were observed: a sedimentary and a diagenetic, together with a collophane transition facies into a crystalline apatite. The phosphorites formed in eupelagic deposits directly on the bottom of the basin - at the boundary of the oxidation and reduction environments, i,e., in conditions different from those of phosphorite accumulations in shallow-water shelf deposits.
