Zeolitized volcanoclastic deposits (Quaternary lapilli tuffs).
The co-ordinates are for Tell Rimah North.
There is also a deposit at Tell Rimah South, and it is unclear from Ibrahim (1995) as to which locality was studied.
However, these zeolites are found at both Tell Rimah North and Tell Rima South.
