Abstract
BAILEY1 described the intrusive carbonate rocks at Keshya and Mkwisi, Zambia, and concluded that they represented “ … an unusual type of carbonatite activity, resembling hydrothermal vein-like deposits… ”. He directed attention to some of the ways in which these rocks differ from the classical carbonatites but regarded these differences as being “ … in degree rather than in kind… ”. In the discussion of Bailey's paper, Deans stated his opinion that the results available did not lend unequivocal support to the view that these rocks are carbonatites.
