This paper deals with the mineralogical features of the most important and widespread pyroclastic formation of Southern Italy: the Campanian Ignimbrite. This formation is characterized by four stratigraphic units, different in colour and mineralogical composition. The lowermost unit (USAF) is constituted by an incoherent, thin (few tens of cm) sequence of glass or feldspar-rich layers. The middle...
Large-scale volcanic plumes, either generated by discharge of material directly from a vent or developed from the top of pyroclastic flows, produce laterally spreading umbrella-shaped clouds that disperse pyroclastic material over large areas. During plinian eruptions followed by pyroclastic flows, an enormous quantity of ash particles produced both by sustained plumes and by the buoyant portion of...
