Peralkaline granite batholith covering 370kmΒ². The intrusion is arcuatein shape and envelopes a large area of gabbro and diorite to the south within which are further small stocks and sheets of peralkaline granite and an inward-dipping, concentric peralkaline granite dike swarm at Jabal Qasharah (Pellaton 1985).

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Cambrian : 510 Β± 15 MaImportant 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.
