Summary:

Named for Manele Harbor, Consists of crater remnant which forms headland south and west of Manele Harbor, Island of Lanai, HI. Structural rim of crater is clearly shown by lava flows from rock island, Puu Pehe, east round the curving shore of headland. Petrographically Manele basalt does not differ from Lanai basalt. Included in Lanai basalt [not in accordance with code since this is formation within formation]. Estimated age is Pleistocene(?).

Summary:

Type locality, headland south and west of Manele harbor. Exposed over 0.25 sq mi at south edge of Island of Lanai. Included [!] as unit of Lanai basalt of Wentworth (1925) [and consequently Lanai volcanic series of Stearns (1946)]. Relationship to rest of Lanai basalt is not given. Assigned Pleistocene(?) age on basis of "presumably correlative in age with the rest of the Lanai Basalt." p.115

Summary:

"The term Manele Basalt is here abandoned as a formal name because it has essentially the same lithology and same age as the Lanai Basalt, as used here, and is of extremely limited extent and term has been applied to a former high stand of the sea." p.66. Rocks are now part of Lanai Basalt of Langenheim and Clague (1987).
