 Name of Unit: Limauhantu Volcanics

Geology
Description
Typically consists of glass shards and 5 to 80% white pumice fragments (almost devoid of mafic minerals), 1-20 cm in diameter; slightly consolidated. Locally contain layers of quartz rich sand as well as layers of gravel consisting of pebbles and cobbles of quartz, volcanic rocks and limestone. Local concentration of obsidian and pitchstone boulders. Andesitic (basaltic) association consists of undifferentiated flows, lahars tuff, fanglomerate and other colluvial deposits from conical, little dissected strato volcanoes of Pleistoceneor Holocene age.
Stratigraphic Relationship
Hornblende hypersthene pumiceous tuff overlies the unit.
