Specific features of the structure and evolution of u and REE-bearing organic phosphate deposits in the southern mangyshlak region

Specific structural features of giant fishbone detritus accumulations, which represent organic phosphate deposits with uranium and rare earth elements, are scrutinized. Based on the detailed examination of phosphate orebodies, regularities of the distribution and localization of uraniferous fish remains are studied. The obtained results have made it possible to reconstruct paleotectonic and paleogeographic conditions of the formation of orebodies, as well as the mechanism for the accumulation of metalliferous bone detritus.
