Abstract:The present study aims to elucidate the possible sources of uranium and thorium content in the Campanian–Maastrichtian phosphorites from the Duwi Formation in the Nile Valley and Red Sea by conducting facies analysis and sequential leaching method. Nile Valley samples were collected from the El-Sibaiya East area, while those of the Red Sea were collected from two locations: Hamadat and Zug El Bahar. The petrographic investigation revealed that the Sibaiya East phosphorites exhibit peloidal bioclastic phosphare… Show more
