Alkaline Rocks and Carbonatites of the World

Setup during HiTech AlkCarb: an online database of alkaline rock and carbonatite occurrences

Mozambique

Mozambique

The distribution of many of the occurrences of alkaline rocks and carbonatites in Mozambique, and adjacent areas of Malawi and Zimbabwe, are illustrated and listed by Vail (1964, Fig. 1 and Table 1) and for central Mozambique by Woolley and Garson (1970, Fig. 2). A useful account of the economic deposits of rocks and minerals, which contains much information not easily obtained elsewhere, is that of Cilek (1989). Most of the occurrences in northern Mozambique have been taken from the 1:1,000,000 (Carta Geologica, 1987) geological map of the country, which was made under contract; it did not prove possible to consult the accompanying reports.
