Abstract
The Tuskar Group is a newly recognized succession of cleaved, steeply dipping, north younging basic volcanics, tuffs, tuffaceous sediments, black shales and medium to fine grained greywackes and turbidites which occur largely in the sea area around the Tuskar Rock, Co. Wexford and in xenoliths in the Carnsore Granite on the mainland. Foliated granodiorites occur along a probable shear zone at the northern contact with the Rosslare Complex. This succession is lithologically similar to parts of the Gwna Group on Anglesey which lies to the northeast along strike. The chemical affinity of metabasites within the Tuskar Group is dissimilar from that of the basic volcanic rocks of the Gwna Group, however, and the overall sense of younging is opposed to that seen on Anglesey.
