Abstract

The presence of ignimbrite is described for the first time in Malaya. The field relations and a detailed study of the petrography support the interpretation that the 15-mile ridge outcropping in Central Kelantan, Malaya, is a thick “dyke” of ignimbrite which plugs an old feeding fissure. The Temangan Ignimbrite has a texture which is intermediate between tuff and rhyolite lava. The evidence suggests that the Temangan ignimbrite was emplaced as a tuff flow.
