Emplaced in granites and migmatitic gneisses, extends over an area of 23x10km in the East Garo and West Khasi Hills districts. The dikes (lamprophyre, ijolite, tinguaite, orthoclasite, trechyte and carbonatite) extend either side of a major fault which bisects the area and appear to be more numerous close to the fault. Evidence of fenitization and carbonation is apparent around some dikes.
