I might think of Dotsero, a single maar volcano in Colorado: http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=1208-01-
You may be right Boris, but I'm thinking it's part of the Sunset Crater volcanic field in Arizona.
Thank you for the Q&A Boris. Very interesting stuff.
You are correct Boris. I found the exact photo. link
Aw darnit! I woulda got that one right!
Gotta drag myself outta bed earlier.
Well, rats. I happened to recognize this one, but I couldn't remember the name or where it was. Have to study a bit more.
I like this picture, too.
For a challenge- perhaps something to do with minerology of a specific volcano? ie Name a volcano in the USA with low-delta18O rhyolitic magma. Or name one with high magnesium andesite. Then you get to do a report on geology of that volcano so we get some technical info.
Never heard of it.
Jimmy: haven't a clue about your first question; on the second one, I'd hazard a guess at somewhere in the Western Aleutians, Kiska maybe?
I bet I could send a pic that would be hard to know where it is. Of course this group is pretty sharp so somebody just might know. I would have to learn how to do that because I don't have a digital camera yet. Yeah I am still in the ol' slr age, but I will eventually get a digital.
Now I have to go FIND that pic and send it on via scan. This may take a while. LOL
I will do that if I can find just the right picture. I have to go through a box of pics and I think I have a good enough one. It depends on how it comes through. We will see.
Sent you two photos I found online,one is probably a easy one but i think the other one MAY be hard to figure out.
I sent you four pics of the volcano I was referring to. It may be easy to identify or not. I hope at least one of them is useful. Right now they are the best I could find.
