Very interesting. Thanks, ski3pin!
Even more interesting (to me) than the chance it could blow again is that it's so much younger than they thought.
I wonder if now the Park Service is going to have to edit their interpretive handouts that refer to its age...maybe just have some interns do it manually with a Sharpie.

Here is another Maar volcano that is about 25 miles from me. Wonder how old it really is?

That is interesting.

Hey Barko, have you gone to Kilbourne Hole to look for olivine?

Been there several times, down in it as well but never really looked for the rocks/gems. Interesting little destination.
