Description
"The Tapuaenuku Igneous Complex is a mid-Cretaceous layered intrusion and dike swarm cropping out at the axis of the Inland Kaikoura Ranges (Tapuae-o-Uenuku, 2885m), South Island, New Zealand. The TIC is part of an extensive, but poorly preserved, igneous province that formed during or after cessation of subduction along the margin of Gondwana c. 100 Ma ago. The intrusion is roughly elliptical in shape, with an areal outcrop of 35 km2." I. A. Baker, J. A. Gamble & I. J. Graham (1994) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00288306.1994.9514620
