Neo-Stromboli:
Shoshonitic basalt lava flows from an eruptive center north
of the present Vancori ridge built up again the W- and
NW-part of the volcano (dated rock ages: 13'800 ± 1'900
to 5'600 ± 3'300 y B.P.). Secondary eruptive centers led to
the formation of the small shield «Timpone del
Fuoco» in Ginostra and lava flows in San Bartolo
(visible as black cliffs along the beaches!) and in San
Vincenzo (units 22-27).
