Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Big Cone, northeastern Lower Group, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA.
Big Cone is one of several geyserite cones along the shoreline of Yellowstone Lake’s West Thumb that have been flooded or partially flooded by lake water. Geyserite is a subaerial, opalline siliceous chemical sedimentary rock, so underwater occurrences of this rock type indicate post-formation submergence has occurred. Most of Big Cone’s geyserite mound is still above water. The vent is water-filled with bubbling action and slight overflow (see wet drainage channels on the southern side of Big Cone). Geyser eruptions here are rare, reaching up to about 1 foot high. August 2011 (looking ~NNW) |
