Abstract
Iron phosphate minerals which cement talus ore below cliffs formed by massive magnetite- hematite deposits at Bomi hill, Liberia, and also occur in place in fissures and caves in the ore both at Bomi hill and Bambuta, were formed by the interaction of bat dung and iron oxides. The minerals include leucophosphite (previously known only from Western Australia), phosphosiderite, and strengite. Analyses of the leucophosphite are included.
