Recent phosphatic grains from diatomaceous oozes, as well as Pliocene grains from phosphatic sands of the Namibian shelf were studied by a scanning electron microscopy coupled with microprobe analysis. Lithification of the grains occurred together with changes in their composition and structure resu...
