Abstract Four members of Mangamate Tephra [MT], erupted c. 10,000 years bp from Mt Tongariro, are identifiable in tephra sequences of both the Mt Tongariro and Mt Ruapehu ring plains, and are morphologically and mineralogically distinct from underlying andesitic tephras derived from Mt Ruapehu. Mangamate Tephra comprises dominantly grey angular lithic lapilli units, contrasting strongly with older and younger, distinctly pumiceous lapilli units from Mt Ruapehu. Three members of MT contain forsteritic olivine (fo75–88). Two olivine habits are identified. Type [I] non-skeletal (granular or polyhedral) olivines are subhedral equant to tabular crystals in thin section and occur only in Waihohonu Lapilli Member. Type [II] skeletal olivines are euhedral elongate, incomplete crystals with hollow interiors and hopper and H-shaped chain morphologies. They are found in Poutu Lapilli, Waihohonu Lapilli and Oturere Lapilli members. Type [II] skeletal olivines, not previously reported in Central North Island tephras, ...
