Marsabit, Kenya

One of the 47 counties of Kenya. This county was part of the former Eastern province prior to 2013.

Marsabit County is a county in Kenya, covering a surface area of 66,923.1 square kilometres. Marsabit is the second-largest county by size in Kenya after Turkana county, which has an area of 71,597.8 km². Its capital is Marsabit and its largest town is Moyale. It is bordered to the North by Ethiopia, to the West by Turkana County, to the South by Samburu County and Isiolo County, and to the East by Wajir County.

The county is located in central north Kenya. It borders the eastern shore of Lake Turkana. Important topographical features are: Ol Donyo Ranges (6,778 ft (ca. 2,066 m)) in the southwest, Mount Marsabit (6,119 ft (ca. 1,865 m)) in the central part of the county, Hurri Hills (5,528 ft (ca. 1,685 m)) in the northeastern part of the county, Mount Kulal (7,333 ft (ca. 2,235 m)) in the northwest and the mountains around Sololo-Moyale escarpment up to (4,600 ft (ca. 1,402 m)) in the northeast. The Chalbi Desert makes up much of the center region of the county.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Miocene : 20.7 ± 1.4 Ma to 14.4 ± 0.7 Ma

Important 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.
