It is the only volcano that produced tholeiitic basalt. All the others are alkali basalt or basanite. Sixteen young lava flows overlying the older lava flows were mapped on the basis of aerophotographs and field observations. Thirteen samples from 12 lavas from among 17 lava flows ( 16 young + one old) were analyzed in order to investigate the variation of chemical compositions of the source magma. The compositional variations within Rangitoto basalt is caused by the accumulation of olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts.}, pages = {25--32}, title = {Geological and petrological study of Rangitoto Island, Auckland Volcanic Field(MEMORIAL VOLUME TO THE LATE PROFESSOR TERUHIKO SAMESHIMA)}, volume = {20}, year = {1994} }
