In the eastern part of Fukushima basin, the Ryozen formation which comprises non-porphyritic andesite, olivine basalt, pyroxene andesite and rhyolite, is unconformably underlied by the pre-Tertiary granodiorite and allied rocks. The Daikoyama neck forms a cone amid the hilly area, about 13km north-east to Fukushima city. It is an erosional
remnant, composed of non-porphyritic andesite, and has an elliptical ground plane. The marginal facies of the neck is characterised by the presence of a large amount of xenocrysts derived from granitic rocks, and the groundmass composed of labradorite, hypersthene, magnetite, glass and tridymite. The central part is non-porphyritic, and its groundmass is composed of labradorite, hypersthene, magnetite, glass and quartz. Chemical composition of the central part of the neck shows followig characteristics: MgO/FeO+Fe
2O
3 ratio is small, and SiO
2 content is low, though normative quartz is comparatively high, and content of modal quartz is very high. A dyke “D” named in the neck is composed of glassy rock with a large amount of xenocrysts derived from granites, and is probably contemporaneous with the neck. While dykes, “B” and “C” are porphyritic two pyroxene andesite, and are younger than the neck.
