Young volcanic deposits in Kahoolawe Island, cutting up through the caldera-filling lava, colluvium and talus in the west wall of Kanapou Bay, had long been stratigraphically considered the rejuvenated-stage products. New K-Ar ages, combined with magnetic polarity data, show that young volcanism was at about 0.98-1.04 Ma and indicate no substantial quiescence between the filling of the caldera and the young volcanism. This result, and the tholeiitic characteristics of the young deposits, suggest they are a component of late shield-stage volcanism. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
