- Description: The Marinkas Quellen Carbonatite Complex, in southern Namibia, forms part of the ca. 490–550 Ma Kuboos-Bremen Igneous Province, a zone of alkaline igneous rocks that intrude the Mesoproterzoic to Paleoproterozoic Namaqualand Metamorphic Province and Neoproterozoic platform sediments. The carbonatite complex includes Ca-rich, Mg-rich and Fe-rich carbonatites as well as late ferrocarbonatite dykes that show extreme enrichments in Mn, REE and Th. Compared to most carbonatites, those at Marinkas Quellen are generally depleted in most trace elements, particularly Ba and the LREE.

- Description: The early Cambrian Kuboos-Bremen Igneous Province of northwestern South Africa and southern Namibia comprises a series of intrusive bodies that collectively encompass virtually the entire range of alkaline rock types. Two of these bodies, the Grootpenseiland and Marinkas Kwela Complexes lie immediately north of the Orange River and are amongst the few that show this wide lithological range on a local scale.
