Abstract
The article presents a study which explores the origin of xenoliths as early floating stones from the pre-island sedimentary rocks during a submarine eruption in El Hierro, Canary Islands on October 10, 2011. The study investigates the textures and compositions of representative restingolites. The study concludes that the early floating stones are vesiculated crustal xenoliths which originated from the substantial layer of sub-volcanic pre-island sedimentary rocks.
