This circular intrusion consists of an earlier central leucocratic granite which is surrounded by a marginal syenite. Detailed petrography is not available. Palaeomagnetic data are given by Cavanagh (1979).
Age:
Two samples from the granite plug and one from the inner syenite ring gave a Rb-Sr age of 94±16 Ma which Cavanagh (1979) indicates should be regarded as an approximation because of the few data.
