| Abstract: |
The oldest‐known rocks of the eroded Dunedin Volcano (DV), New Zealand, active 16.0–11.0 Ma, were emplaced by penecontemporaneous explosive eruptions and intrusions of magmas with a remarkable range of compositions, including basanite, alkali basalt, trachyte and phonolite. The compositional diversity of magmas emplaced in rapid succession during the earliest development of the volcano signify the existence of a complex magmatic system and highly evolved magmas, typical of those attributed to mature magmatic systems; here it developed in concert with the volcano's surface eruptions. We infer that multiple deep and shallow reservoirs were suddenly tapped as volcanism commenced. DV repeatedly erupted the same range of magmas over 5 Myr, suggests that these distributed reservoirs failed to significantly integrate through millions of years of slow volcano growth.
