Geochemistry of apatite in various felsic rocks of the Piranshahr plutonic complex: an approach to investigate magmatic evolution [PDF]
The felsic intrusive rocks in the Piranshahr plutonic complex consist of three groups: syenite, nepheline-syenite, and alkali-feldspar granite. They are co-genetic and formed approximately 40 million years ago.

A Study on Apatite from Mesozoic Alkaline Intrusive Complexes, Central High Atlas, Morocco
There are abundant phosphate mines in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Gem-quality apatite is produced at the Anemzi deposit, but its associated gem mineralogy is relatively poorly studied.

Thermal annealing of fission tracks in synthetic apatites [PDF]
Synthetic analogues of poor-silicated natural apatites have been doped with uranium. These minerals have been irradiated with a thermal neutron dose in the aim to induce the 235U fission and to obtain a fission track population.
