| Description |
English: Carbonatite from the Eocene of Uganda. (6.2 centimeters across at its widest)
This rock is from the Tororo Carbonatite Complex of Middle Eocene age (40 million years old). The Tororo Carbonatite Complex is an eroded volcanic plug, one of many alkaline volcanic centers in & near the East African Rift Valley. None of the Tororo carbonatite literature I’ve examined is explicit on the mineral content of the carbonatites at this locality. However, this rock doesn’t readily bubble in acid, but does when powdered. This seems to indicate that the sample is a magnesiocarbonatite, dominated by dolomite. Locality: Tororo Rock, south of town of Tororo, southeastern Uganda, eastern Africa (~00º 41’ 08” North latitude, ~34º 11’ 02” East longitude) |
