Petrography and geochemical analyses were performed on representative specimens. The extrusives and related dykes are thought to have been derived from the differentiation of a single parent magma, as evidenced by several geochemical trends. The units are as follows; intermediate to felsic trachytes and pyroclastics, typically phlogopite phyric and red alkali rhyolites; later volcaniclastic units. A significantly younger diabase dyke cuts these units, all of which overlie the '307' formation.</p> / Bachelor of Science (BSc)
