Abstract
At Yerranderie, N.S.W., a chaotic sequence of silicic volcanic breccias (including megabreccias) is encircled by a fan of outward‐dipping well‐bedded ashfall tuffs, recognised respectively as the crater fill and flanks of a Devonian volcano. The crater and enveloping volcanic pile developed on an older terrain of silicic pyroclastics which constitute the bulk of the Bindook Complex. Spatial variation in the degree of metamorphism and the distribution of sites of mineralisation at Yerranderie are entirely consistent with the existence of the crater.Keywords
