Geology of Ascension Island other volcanic islands, which only have a few mafic and felsic endmembers such as basalt or rhyolite, Ascension has a full-range from some of the most mafic to most felsic. This includes basalt, hawaiite, mugearite, benmoreite,trachyte and rhyolite. Potassium-argon dating indicates that the oldest rocks exposed above the water are one million year old rhyolites.
