Basalt outcrops on hills and in roadcuts in the botanical gardens, near the casino, and several other sites within the city of Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. Mid-Tertiary nepheline-basalt and olivine-basalt of the Nemby Formation, with lherzolite inclusions (mantle material), are intruded into red sandstones of the Misiones formation. Between these are contact metamorphosed red quartzites. There are also 8 nephelinite stocks in the Asuncion area.
