Abstract
The Late Cretaceous Mediterranean phosphorite belt, which extends from southwestern Turkey to Morocco, is represented by a number of minero-chemical uraniferous phosphorite deposits in Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Syria. Published figures of phosphorite resources in these countries are often not clearly defined and/or in discord in various papers. The figures given below are estimates that may have changed since their publication. For precise data, the interested reader is therefore referred to the respective government authorities or phosphate mining companies.
