Abstract
Micro‐element compositions are used to Characterise rhyolitic volcanic glasses from 6 tephras and from 4 soils derived from volcanic material. Aokautere Ash and Oruanui Ash are shown to be similar but not identical. The tephras are correlated with the soils which have developed at great distances from the tephra source.Keywords
