钙十字沸石是J.Mnrray和A.F.Renard于1891年首次在深海沉积物中发现的。以后,海洋沉积工作者对这一矿物很重视是有多方面原因的。首先,已经查明,钙十字沸石作为典型的海洋自生矿物之一,在远洋、深海沉积中分布很广,形成了所谓的钙十字沸石区,钙十字沸石含量可高达70—80％,构成了真正的所谓“钙十字沸石岩”。其次,查明钙十字沸石的成因和形成过程有助于阐明深海沉积 Phillipsianite was first found in deep sea sediments by J.Mnrray and A.F.Renard in 1891. There are many reasons why ocean depositors value this mineral in the future. First, it has been ascertained that, as one of the typical marine authigenic minerals, phillipsite zeolite is widely distributed in oceanic and deep-sea sediments and forms the so-called calcareous zeolite zone, which contains up to 70-80% of calcium phophorite and constitutes The real so-called “calcium cross zeolite rock.” Second, identifying the genesis and formation of the phillipsite zeolite helps clarify deep-sea sediments
