Abstract
Volcanic vents filled with mafic volcaniclastic material, a few tens of metres to about 5 km across, are documented in several provinces (Deccan, North Atlantic, Ferrar, Karoo); they are thought to have been excavated in relatively soft country rocks (rarely in flood lavas) by phreatomagmatic activity in a manner analogous to diatreme formation.
