MINDeSEA data on submarine phosphorite metallogenic areas and provinces, polygons; FRAME data on phosphate metallogenic areas and provinces in Europe, polygons. The polygons illustrate the diversity and potential regarding phosphate mineralization in Europe (land and sea) in order to help at identifying new areas of interest for CRMs.

Use of MINDeSEA database in order to generate polygons enclosing areas with occurrences of phosphorites. Regarding onshore deposits: Use of the following data to generate the polygons: data from the national database of the project partners' countries; data from data sources: ProMine, FODD, SIORMINP, and Mine records database; verified data extracted from references issued from the literature; verified data resulting from mineralogical and chemical studies performed on samples from various collections and sampled in the field.
