| Summary Abstract: | This paper presents a review of geological and petrographic studies of the alkaline-carbonatite complex of Tchivira and Bonga, near the village of Quicuco, in the administrative zone of Quilenguis of the District of Huila. The paper gives a general account of the main geological features of the area, and presents a comprehensive description of the Complexes, including the geological processes leading to their formation, the dominant rocks, chemical analytical data of representative rock samples; and also presents the result of a petrochemical study carried-out to examine the line of evolution of the alkaline complex constituted by Mt. Tchivira and Mt. Bonga. Bound to the rear of the paper there is a colour Geological Map of the Quicuco Area, at 1:2,500 scale. |
