Resolving the Richat enigma: Doming and hydrothermal karstification above an alkaline complex
Guillaume Matton, Michel Jébrak, James K. W. Lee, 2005. Geology 33(8): 665-668.
Field, petrological and geochronological study showing the Richat is the eroded top of a Cretaceous alkaline complex, with a central breccia formed by hydrothermal karst dissolution and collapse.
