Description
Lyttelton Volcano (11 – 9.7 Ma)
"Lyttelton Volcanics formed in the Late Miocene between 11.0 and 9.7 Ma of hawaiite, subordinate basalt, mugearite lava flows and interbedded sediments. It is currently hypothesised that Lyttelton Volcano had two distinct centres, Lyttelton 1 at the Head of the Bay (11.0 – 10.4 Ma) and Lyttelton 2 in Charteris Bay (10.4 – 9.7 Ma)"
