This 7x6 km volcanic cone has a core of nephelinitic and ijolitic agglomerates and tuffs with a thin covering of nephelinitic and phonolitic lavas. Ejected blocks in the agglomerates are commonly nephelinite or phonolite, but ijolite, melteigite and nepheline syenite also occur. There are four rock analyses, including trace element and Sr, Nd and Pb isotope data, and a nepheline analysis, in Paslick et al. (1995 and 1996).
