| Maungaturoto (red marker) in map of surface volcanics with basaltic scoria and lava fields of the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field. Te Ahuahu and Tarahi are to the east. Clicking on the map enlarges it, and enables panning and mouseover of volcano name/wikilink and ages before present. Key for the volcanics that are shown with panning is: basalt (shades of brown/orange), monogenetic basalts, undifferentiated basalts of the Tangihua Complex in Northland Allochthon, arc basalts, arc ring basalts, dacite, andesite (shades of red), basaltic andesite, rhyolite, (ignimbrite is lighter shades of violet), and plutonic. White shading is selected caldera features. | |
