Geological analysis of a lens-shaped body of volcanoclastic deposit located in Southern Calabria, near Mileto (Catanaro), allowed us to put in evidence the existence, during the Quaternary, of two distinct volcanic events separated by an erosional surface. As derived from the characters of the associated sediments, the whole volcanoclastic sequence, consisting of pumiceous and cineritic layers, seems to he deposited not later than Lower Pleistocene in a beach environment bordering the western side of the Mesima basin. Photrographic and chemical data relative to a few samples collected in the area seems to indicate that both ihe episodes are representative of an evolute calcalkaline volcanism which could be related to an insular arc-type activity.

Abstract

Geological analysis of a lens-shaped body of volcanoclastic deposit located in Southern Calabria, near Mileto (Catanaro), allowed us to put in evidence the existence, during the Quaternary, of two distinct volcanic events separated by an erosional surface. As derived from the characters of the associated sediments, the whole volcanoclastic sequence, consisting of pumiceous and cineritic layers, seems to he deposited not later than Lower Pleistocene in a beach environment bordering the western side of the Mesima basin. Photrographic and chemical data relative to a few samples collected in the area seems to indicate that both ihe episodes are representative of an evolute calcalkaline volcanism which could be related to an insular arc-type activity.
