Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Spatter cones in the Holocene of Arizona, USA.

These are spatter cones atop a late Holocene pahoehoe basalt-hawaiite lava flow in southern Idaho's Craters of the Moon Lava Field. The lava flow, named the Blue Dragon Flow, and the spatter cones themselves are about the same age: ~2076 ± 45 years old.

Also known as "hornitos", spatter cones are small to very small, steep-sided volcanic cones formed by the accumulation and solidification of blobs of lava that sputtered from a vent. They are usually basaltic in composition.

Locality: Spatter cones along the Great Rift, immediately south of the Big Craters cinder cone complex, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Snake River Plain, southern Idaho, USA
