Dikes of alkaline picrites and carbonatites.

"Tul'ilukht bay" is probably in all cases the southward peninsula in Tullilikht bay, which consists mainly of foyaite rock. Most of carbonatites are only to be reached by boreholes through the sediment layers deposited by the Kaskasjunjok and Tuliok rivers.
