It has been applied to the dating of the posterosional volcanics of the Honolulu Series, which include such well-known Hawaiian landmarks as Diamond Head and Punchbowl. Ages vary from about 30,000 yrs for the Koko rift zone lavas to about 800,000 yrs for the oldest member measured (Castle flow). This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
