Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Silex Spring, Fountain Group, Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2010 (above: looking ~ENE; below: looking ~ESE).
This hot spring has a deep turquoise color, caused by the presence of hot water having an abundance of exceedingly small particles of colloidal silica. Silex Spring is an overflowing hot spring, sometimes heavily overflowing, and sometimes has geyser eruptions. Observers have reported whirlpool draining events of the pool after geyser eruptions. The above photo shows geyserite (siliceous sinter) that rims Silex Spring. The orangish-brown areas have extremophile bacterial mats. The whitish-gray borders are bacteria-free (~) geyserite. |
