“…In the present analyses, the highest concentrations of Sr (1540 and 1787 ppm) were detected in the samples rich in calcareous foraminiferal tests and fish debris, respectively. This is in agreement with the observations of Arrhenius et al (1957) and Schmitz (1992) that, in argillaceous sediments, Sr is associated with the clay minerals and also with apatite derived from fish debris.…”

“…This indicates that the REE in phosphorites are related to the type of phosphate (fish debris). Arrhenius et al (1957) stated that, one type of biogenic material, fish debris, is important in scavenging the REE from seawater. They proposed that biogenic apatite takes up the REE from seawater, and, where the apatite is buried, it acts as a sink for the REE.…”

In a detailed investigation of the sedimentology, mineralogy and trace element geochemistry of the stratigraphic interval spanning the Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary in the Gabal el-Qreiya section, the author attempts to reconstruct environmental changes across the boundary especially for the interval representing the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The PETM interval consists of three distinct thin units of phosphatic shales followed by a calcareous phase. The basal unit is a laminated clay layer, whose base represents the base of the Eocene. It is enriched in silica and aluminium and is slightly phosphatic (bone-bearing). The middle unit is CaCO 3 -rich and bone-bearing, with a higher proportion of phosphatic components than the basal clay layer. The upper unit is coprolite-rich. These sediments contain different abundances of barite, Mn-oxide particles and grains of detrital origin. The PETM interval at Gabal el-Qreiya is characterized by high anomalies in most chalcophiles and REEs especially in the basal clay layer and the bone-bearing bed. It is concluded that these trace elements are incorporated into the phosphatic components (fish debris and coprolites) and organic matter. The three phosphatic shale units reflect euxinic marine environments and deposition in anoxic H 2 S-containing bottom waters rich in organic matter. The sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical data show that the PETM interval represents deposition in a relatively deep water environment. However, it reflects slight fluctuations of sea level, a humid climate, high rain fall and oxidation conditions during weathering.

“…These particles are assigned to be fish remains (or fish bones) (Hein et al, 1979), which are likely biogenic apatite. It is well known that biogenic apatite is highly enriched in REEs (Arrhenius et al, 1957;Wright et al, 1987;Toyoda and Tokonami, 1990). reported that a large negative Ce anomaly and enriched REEs in Pacific pelagic sediments are closely related to the abundance of fish bone debris.…”

“…Herwartz et al (2011), however, have suggested that fossil bones and teeth may remain open systems for long-term REE uptake, based on their observations of lutetium concentrations in fossil specimens of various ages. Arrhenius et al (1957) first recognized and described the high SREE content of fossil bones, between 1,000 and 10,000 ppm, while Grandjean et al (1987) were among the first to test paleoenvironmental interpretations based on the REE content of fossils.…”
