A petrographic description of a tinguaite dyke is given by Manasse (1909), but few other details are available. It is a very fine-grained rock with a fluidal texture and comprises alkali feldspar, green pyroxene, probable lavenite, nepheline, magnetite, apatite and possible sodalite. A rock analysis is given. This may be the same as the tinguaite reported by Mohr (1962) as occurring near Azeo in the Mareb basin.
