The primary type of diagenetic phosphorus mineral formation in marine environments is the substitution of phosphate into calcium carbonate minerals such as calcite or aragonite. Microbes contribute to this process by mineralizing organic phosphorus to reactive phosphate, which then substitutes diagenetically into calcium carbonate.

Swapan Kumar Haldar, in Mineral Exploration (Second Edition), 2018. 13.5.7.5 Flotation of Rock Phosphate Ore. Rock phosphate, the primary raw material for fertilizer and phosphoric acid, occurs as high-grade ore (+30% P 2 O 5), medium-grade ore (20%–30% P 2 O 5), and low-grade ore (15%–20% P 2 O 5).The very high-grade ore blends with medium-grade ore for direct sale.
