Köppen climate type:
The outcrops range in size from 2 to 6 m across. The carbonatites occur as centimeters- to meter-wide plugs, sills, dykes, and veins within plugs of ijolite, nephelinite, phonolite, nepheline syenite, and alkali pyroxenite. The ijolite plugs represent the earliest phase of alkaline magmatism, which was followed by intrusion of E-W trending fine-grained calcite carbonatite, and coarse-grained calcite carbonatite. Together these plugs, dikes, and veins of carbonatites encompass an area of ca. 1.95 km2.
