The fall of ash drifted downwind from the Bruneau-Jarbidge supervolcano eruption (in present-day Idaho), nearly 1,000 miles (1,600 km) west of the Ashfall site. 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.
Scientists have stumbled upon urban ash from the California fires more than 100 miles offshore, and found chunks as large as several inches in diameter. You can see the thick ash in the photo ...
Halemaʻumaʻu (six syllables: HAH-leh-MAH-oo-MAH-oo) is a pit crater within the much larger Kīlauea Caldera at the summit of Kīlauea volcano on island of Hawaiʻi. The roughly circular crater was 770 meters (2,530 ft) x 900 m (2,950 ft) before collapses that roughly doubled the size of the crater after May 3, 2018. [ 1 ]
The discoveries could bring scientists closer to understanding why Neanderthals ultimately died out and what role humans played in their demise.

Crater Peak has a summit crater that is itself slightly breached along the south rim; the north wall of the crater exposes the truncated remains of an older dome or lava lake. Before the 1992 eruption, a small crater lake occupied the ...
