Comments on the geologic information

  • SEDIMENTS OF THIS REGION DIP SW AND ARE ATTENUATED IN THICKNESS. OVER MUCH OF THE AREA, A BED OF SANDY, GLAUCONITIC CHALK, APPROXIMATELY 3M THICK, WITH SMALL PHOSPHATIC NODULES, OVERLIES THE MAIN PHOSPHATE BED. THIS MAIN PHOSPHATE BED IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED AND IS APPROXIMATELY 0.1M THICK. IN CERTAIN SECTIONS THIS BED OCCURS AS SEVERAL THIN NODULE BEDS.
