The late Miocene silicic volcanics of the Udu Volcanic Group, Vanua Levu, Fiji are uncommonly voluminous for an intra-oceanic arc. Their eruption accompanied or shortly preceded (2 m.y.) the breakup of the Vanuatu-Fiji-Tonga arc system. Dacite and rhyolite occur in two series: a predominantly dacitic medium-K one, and a predominantly rhyolitic low-K one.
