The geology of the Katete carbonatite, Rhodesia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
The Katete carbonatite is situated in an area of rifting in the NW of Rhodesia. It consists of varieties of carbonatite and of agglomerates. There is little alteration of the surrounding sandstones and there are no associated alkaline rocks. The age of the complex is mid-Cretaceous, which is about the same as the later stages of carbonatite activity in the Rufunsa Valley in Zambia.
