Abstract
Phosphorite deposits in Egypt, known as the Duwi Formation, are a part of the Middle East to North Africa phosphogenic province of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene age. Phosphatic grains in these deposites are classified into phosphatic mudclasts and phosphatic bioclasts. Phosphatic bioclasts are subdivided into fish bone fragments and shark tooth fragments. All phosphatic grains are composed of francolite. Chemical mapping of the phosphatic grains using Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) indicated that the phosphatic mudclasts are
