Abstract

A small plug-like body is made up of an intrusive breccia contained within a ring of felsite. The felsitic matrix of the breccia is of composite origin and certain textures may indicate contemporaneous breaking of crystals. Attention is drawn to the association of this diatreme with the suite of felsite, hornblende lamprophyre, and hornblendite intrusions clustered around the diapiric pluton of Ardara.
