A large number of very well preserved fossil Teleoceras (extinct hippo-like relatives of rhinos ), small three-toed and one-toed horses , camels , and birds have been excavated.
Ash-induced flashover across transformer insulation (bushings) can burn, etch or crack the insulation irreparably and can result in the disruption of the power supply. [54] Volcanic ash can erode, pit, and scour metallic apparatus, particularly moving parts such as water and wind turbines and cooling fans on transformers or thermal power plants ...
