Phosphate Exploration and Resource Potential on the North Carolina Continental Shelf

Abstract: An extensive network of high resolution uniboom/ sparker/3.5 kHz subbottom seismic profiles in combination with 9 mvibracores were obtained across the North Carolina continental shelf in Onslow Bay. The resulting data has delineated a depositional pattern of Miogene sediments around the E flank of the Cape Fear Arch. This broad SE trending structural high, located on top of the older Carolina Platform, has controlled the deposition and distribution of Cenozoic units across the mid-Atlantic shelf. The Neogenes … Show more

“…However, despite this obvious connection, the precise origin of the apatite crystals is unclear. Miocene rocks rich in phosphorite outcrop on the North Carolina continental shelf (Riggs et al, 1982(Riggs et al, ,1985Riggs, 1984). Surficial phosphatic sands which occur in this area may have originated from the weathering of phosphatic limestones (Pilkey & Luternauer, 1967).…”
