Catrimani is an oval-shaped intrusion of about 2x1 km, elongated northwest-southeast, which is composed essentially of sodalite-nepheline syenite (litchfieldite) with numerous phonolite dykes; accessories in the syenite include cancrinite, a hastingsitic amphibole, aegirine, melanite, biotite, zircon, apatite and carbonate. The phonolites contain abundant acicular aegirine and minor cancrinite, fluorite and apatite. Chemical analyses are given in Montalvao et al. (1975).
