Talk:Phosphate rock

I have created entry for phosphate rock, distinct from phosphate minerals. Discussion of rock ( assemblages of minerals ) is somewhat distinguished from the discussion of individual mineral compounds ( i.e. quartz, mica, feldspars are minerals,   granite and sandstone are rocks ). We will be adding information about economic ores which are mined for their phosphate mineral content.Eregli bob (talk) 12:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Phosphorite
I am not an expert on the subject, but Phosphate rock as described here appears to be identical with the subject of the pre-existing article Phosphorite. Does anyone see a reason not to merge the articles and set up a redirect? Plazak (talk) 14:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * See Talk:Rock phosphate. Seems there is a consensus for the merger of all three articles. Vsmith (talk) 20:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
