Abstract
The most important problems of the phosphorite formation are considered. It is shown that phosphorus is a typical biogenic component, which is concentrated in the course of biogenic sulfate reduction at the mud stage of transformation of rocks highly enriched in organic matter due to acidification of solutions, while precipitation is stimulated by alkalinization of the interstitial and rock solutions by carbonates. The role of terrestrial source in the formation of phosphorite deposits is emphasized.
