The 12 pages that link to Apatite, each with the reason it gives.

• Phosphoric acidBroader topic: Apatite minerals supply the phosphate in most industrial phosphate rock.

• PhosphateBroader topic: Apatite is the principal phosphate mineral in many rocks and a model for bone mineral.

• ConodontRelated: Conodont elements are made chiefly of apatite, helping them survive fossilization.

• FluoriteCompared with: Apatite is a common look-alike with similar colors but greater hardness.

• Phosphate rockBroader topic: Apatite is the principal phosphate mineral in most commercially mined rock.

• MonaziteCompared with: Apatite is another common phosphate, but its composition and typical rare-earth concentrations differ.

• Phosphate miningBroader topic: Apatite is the main phosphorus-bearing mineral recovered from many deposits.

• ThermochronologyRelated: Its multiple thermochronometers provide complementary records of low-temperature rock cooling.

• FluorapatiteNarrower topic: Fluorapatite is the fluoride-rich member of this mineral group.

• Kola PeninsulaRelated: Large deposits in the Khibiny support the peninsula’s mining industry.

• Phosphate mineralBroader topic: Apatite is the most common phosphate mineral group and a major phosphorus reservoir in rocks.

• PhosphoriteBroader topic: Apatite is the principal phosphate mineral in most phosphorite.
