Geology And Geochemistry Of Nodular-Phosphate And Fault-Controlled Hydrothermal-Phosphate Mineralizations In Arikli And Nusratli Villages (Ayvacik-Çanakkale, Nw Turkey), Abdulbaki̇ Günaydin

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

Uranium bearing phosphate mineralizations in the tuffs (ignimbrites) of Middle Miocene Arıklı volcanites in the vicinity of Arıklı and Nusratlı villages, Çanakkale have been known since 1977. In the study area, two types of phosphate mineralizations are present in different parts. First type and important one is in the tectonic zones in tuffs and along the contact between tuffs and Çetmi ophiolite and along the contacts of the units of the Küçükkuyu Formation in the Muharremin Tepe, Feyzullah Tepe, Örencik Tepe, Gedikharman Tepe in north and northwest of Arıklı village. Second type is the vein type mineralizations in the tuffs …
