- Description
- The Marinkas Quellen Carbonatite Complex, in southern Namibia, forms part of the ca. 490–550 Ma Kuboos-Bremen Igneous Province, a zone of alkaline igneous rocks that intrude the Mesoproterzoic to Paleoproterozoic Namaqualand Metamorphic Province and Neoproterozoic platform sediments. The carbonatite complex includes Ca-rich, Mg-rich and Fe-rich carbonatites as well as late ferrocarbonatite dykes that show extreme enrichments in Mn, REE and Th. Compared to most carbonatites, those at Marinkas Quellen are generally depleted in most trace elements, particularly Ba and the LREE.
