We have conducted geochemical and mineralogical investigations of the rare earth and yttrium (REY)-rich mud from the Minami-Torishima area in the Pacific in order to clarify the concentration of REY and their host-phase in the mud. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the mud is mainly composed of phillipsite, fluorapatite, quartz, albite, illite and montmorillonite. Whole-rock CaO, P2O5 and total REY contents of the mud are positively correlated. Relative abundance of apatite is also positively correlated to P2O5 and total REY contents. These correlations suggest that apatite is the main host of the P2O5 and REY in the mud. We make in situ compositional analyses of constituent minerals in the REY mud. The results show that the apatite is abundant in REY (9300-32,000ppm) and is characterized by a negative Ce anomaly and enrichment in heavy rare-earth elements. This abundance and composition of REY of the mud is similar those of fish debris apatites. In contrast, phillipsite is less abundant in REY (60-170ppm). Therefore we conclude that the main REY host phase of the mud is apatite.
