...J. G JONES Abstract The Miocene clastic rocks of southwest Espiritu Santo, among which rudites are predominant, consist of lava-derived and organic calcareous constituents in all proportions. Their composition and texture indicate that marine andesitic volcanoes were their source. The salient...

... are present on Espiritu Santo Island in the New Hebrides group. Other terraces at intermediate levels above 45 feet were seen, but their altitudes were not determined. Remnants of a terrace about 1200 feet above sea level are also present. The terraces correspond in altitude and in sequence with those...

... the younger parts of the Escabrosa and Redwall Limestones. Osagean seaways extended to central and northern New Mexico depositing Kelly (35 m) and Espiritu Santo (35 m) Formations. The Espiritu Santo consists of subtidal to supratidal quartz sandssone and carbonate rocks. Zuni Highlands and Pedernal Highlands...

...Jean Sagatzky Abstract Continuation of a study of the geology of Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides; deals with the volcanic rocks of the island. The rocks identified in the volcanic complex are andesites, labradorites (basalts), and associated tuffs. Most of them are older than the Miocene...

...Jean Sagatzky Abstract A detailed description of the sedimentary series of Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides. Three main subdivisions are present, the lowest of which is later than the bulk of the volcanic complex of the island (andesites and labradorite basalts). The sediments are probably all...

In 1994, another broadband station, with the Geoscope label...

... on Vanuatu’s largest islands of Espiritu Santo (herein called Santo) and Malekula ( Fig. 1 ). This study focuses on a suite of dolerites, basaltic andesites, andesites, and a tonalite collected from southwestern Santo. Detailed petrographic descriptions of the samples are provided in the GSA Data Repository 1...

... is an interesting speculation. This might explain not only the relation of unmetamorphosed Lower Cretaceous limestones to (?Upper Cretaceous) metamorphic rocks at Espiritu Santo and Jocotan but also the relation of the Albian Cemento Novella limestone at Guatemala City ( Wilson, 1974 , p. 1358) to metamorphic rocks...

The bathymetry and geography of the Gulf of California rift basin are characterized by narrow shelves and steep slopes; hence, carbonate environments...
