Carbonatite:
No
A 120 m diameter, circular body of limestone within Precambrian Toro schists was considered by Lytham (1979) to be carbonatite. However, rock analyses indicated that most trace elements, and notably the generally diagnostic ones, were below detection limits. There must be some doubt as to the carbonatitic nature of this occurrence.
