Occurrence of Carnotite in the Phosphatic horizon of the Sudr Chalk, Wadi El-Quseiyib, East Central Sinai, Egypt: Paleoenvironmental and Radioactivity Implications

Abstract
Anomalous uranium contents were recognized in the phosphatic beds of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Sudr Chalk of Wadi El-Quseiyib at the East Central Sinai.Microscopic examination, and scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of carnotite patches disseminated in the studied Sudr Chalk phosphatic rocks.This mineral is recorded for the first time in the east central Sinai and it may be signi...
