『Abstract
The article is dedicated to regularities in the distribution
of sedimentary phosphorite and manganese deposits in the Lower
Paleozoic and Proterozoic formations. Special attention is paid
to co-occurrence of phosphate and manganese ores formed during
the Vendian-Cambrian shale formation epoch. It is shown that shale
formation in certain epochs of the Precambrian and Phanerozoic
was determined by the excess influx of carbon and biogenic elements
to seas and marginal parts of the oceans and by enhanced productivity
of planktonic organisms in corresponding geological periods.』
