Early Cretaceous carbonatite, hosted in sövite.

Soils of the summit plateau and several areas around the complex have been shown to contain significant concentrations of pyrochlore and Nb also occurrs in rutile and titanite. These soils generally contain > 5% apatite (Garson & Smith 1969).

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Early/Lower Cretaceous : 136 ± 7 Ma to 125.8 ± 7.7 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
