Title
Phosphate minerals of some granitic rocks associated quartz veins from northern and central Portugal
Phosphate minerals are common in northern and central Portuguese granitic rocks. Childrenite, eosphorite and intermediate compositions in this solid-solution séries occur in muscovite granites at Paredes da Beira and Penamacor-Monsanto, muscovite-biotite granites at Penamacor-Monsanto and in aplite veins at Vidago. The composition of childrenite and eosphorite are similar in each of these localities. Germanite occurs in a muscovite granite at Segura.
