Early Cambrian phosphorites, with more than 177.7 million tons are mainly distributed in the Akesu-Wushi area (Sugetbrak phosphorite deposit) and Jinghe county (Kegurqin phosphorite deposit), Xinjiang (Huang et al., 2007). The phosphorus was occurred among the black shale and chert units of the early Cambrian Yurtus Formation in Akesu-Wushi area. This article showed the paleoenvironment and origin of the sedimentary phosphorite of the Sugetbrak phosphorite deposit in AkesuWushi area.
