Drum Pre-Snider Peak Flows
Start: 300000 yBP [1]
Event Type: Effusive
Description: From Richter and others (1994): "The final stages of cycle 2 constructional volcanic activity probably occurred in the vicinity of Snider Peak on the south flank of Mount Drum (Fig. 3 [in original text]). Extensive dacite lava flows were erupted here at about 300 ka (samples G, E, Fig. 4 [in original text]) followed by the emplacement of the Snider Peak dacite dome at about 250 ka (sample A, Fig. 4 [in original text])."
