Among them, the highest REE contents reached up to 1361.59×10^-6 and P205 contents up to 29.45%. In contrast, phosphorites from Kaiyang, Qingzhen and Zhenyuan in Guizhou Province had relatively low total REE con- tents and low P205 contents, with the lowest total REE content of 53.19× 10^-6, and the lowest P205 content of 0.07%. REE contents exhibited a positive correlation with phosphorous contents, indicating a close genetic relationship between REE and phosphorous ele- ment. The main reason was the difference of the sedimentary environments and the contents of phosphorous and REE in deep water mass formed in upwelling currents, at an upper slope facies （Slu） in reducing condition due to relatively closed sedimentary environ- ment. It was very difficult for the upswelling phosphorous and REE to deposit, massive phosphorous deposits were hard to be formed. At a deep water ramp facies （DRa） in the ascending process of currents, phosphorus and REE underwent differentiation rather than sedimentation. Consequently, the contents of P205 sediments and REE were low. At a shallow water ramp facies （including shoals and tidal flats） （SRa）, with active seawater circulation and phosphatic supplement, sunny weather, high nutrition and rapid growth of algae, were benefitial for the physical enrichment of carbonate sediments. Therefore, massive phosphorite deposits were easy to be tbrmed with abundant REE minerals, and finally turned into high REE beating phosphorous deposits.展开更多
