| 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).
