Abstract

The carbonatite plugs of Eastern Uganda represent the final phase of Elgon type volcanoes. The types of structure observed in the carbonatites are discussed and a general description of the structural components of the Tororo Hills is given. It is suggested that the ring features originated through the congealing in the conduit of the central portion of the carbonate mass.
