Westdahl pre-glacial flows

Start: 180000 yBP [1]

Event Type: Effusive

Event Characteristics:
  • Lava flow [1]

Description: From Wood and Kienle (1990): "A thick sequence of pre-glacial basalt lava flows comprises most of Westdahl volcano. Many of these lavas are too young to date by the whole-rock K-Ar method, but the lowest flow in one section yielded an age of 0.18 Ma."
