    Originally described as a variety of porphyritic leucocratic alkali rhyolite containing phenocrysts of quartz, alkali feldspar, aegirine, arfvedsonite or riebeckite and minor biotite. It is now defined and distinguished from pantellerite as a variety of peralkaline rhyolite of TAS field R in which Al,0, > 1.33 × total iron as FeO + 4.4 (Le Maitre et al. 2002).

Field Logistics

Safety in the field is closely related to awareness of potential difficulties, fitness and use of appropriate equipment. Safety is a personal responsibility and all participants should be aware of the following issues. The participants will be carried with buses. All participants require comfortable walking boots. Trainers or running shoes are unsuitable footwear in the field. A waterproof coat/jacket is essential. In summer weather conditions are good. Anyway a waterproof coat/jacket is recommended as well as a bottle of water and a backpack. Sun protection can be useful as well a hat or a headscarves. Participants should inform the excursion leaders (in confidence) of any physical or mental condition, which may affect performance in the field (e.g. asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, vertigo, heart condition, back problem, ear disorder, lung disease, allergies etc.), and of problems related to particular diets or food. Each vehicle will carry one basic first aid kit.

Mobile/cellular phone coverage is good but could be limited in same place.

The emergency telephone number for police is 110.

The emergency telephone number for ambulance is 120.
