Abstract
Thin sections were made of rocks collected from Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, Ngorongoro crater, and Lake Manyara in northern Tanganyika. Descriptions of the sections showed the rocks to be critically undersaturated Alkali basalts composed primarily of plagioclase An27 - An60, augite, and forsteritic olivine.
