Extract

The phonolites which are found in the volcanic region of Dunedin, New Zealand, are of a varied character. Some of them are of ordinary types, but others are nephelinitoid, and some of them have sodalite in abundance. Besides the phonolites, there are trachydolerites, some of which also contain sodalite as well as nepheline. There is also an abundance of tinguaites, in all of which nepheline is distinct and sometimes sodalite as well. All petrologists who have worked in this region are therefore perfectly familiar with the minerals sodalite and nepheline in many different associations and conditions.
