The phosphorous sinks are the ocean and ocean sediments.

The ocean holds $3 \times 10^{15}$ moles of phosphorous.

The annual amount of phosphorous input into the ocean, andas well as the amount of burial of phosphorous as sediment is on the order of $10^{10}$ moles.

The sediment is of three categories:

  1. Phosphorous associated with calcium carbonate
  2. Organic phosphorous (associated with organic carbon)
  3. Apatite

See Phosphorous Accumulation in Marine Sediments and the Oceanic Phosphorous Cycle for a detailed analysis.
