Ash-Flow Tuffs of the Chisulryoung Volcanic Formation and Associated Welded Tuff Instrusion, Weolseong District, Southern Korea

월성(月城) 남부(南部) 치술령 지역(地域)의 화산암(火山岩)

The Chisulryoung Volcanic Formation comprises a thick sequence of pyroclastic flow deposits. Six members are distinguished, each representing separate flow units, comprising weakly to intensely welded acidic tuffs. A stock of welded acidic tuff, 1 km in diameter, intrudes hornblende granodiorite and sediments of Late Cretaceous age and the lower part of the Chisulryoung Volcanic Tuff Formation and may represent the vent through which the upper flows of the Chisulryoug Volcanic Formation were erupted.
