摘要: The eruptive history of Oldoinyo Lengai began <0.37Ma ago, with eruptions nephelinitic and phonolitic tuffs agglomerates from the southern, now extinct, crater. Following a period erosion, black ashes were erupted starting about 1250 new northern crater, which has been site subsequent activity; altered natrocarbonatite lava blocks occur in these tuffs. Natrocarbonatite was first recorded summit area 1904, though earlier verbal reports “snow” on mountain may refer to carbonatite ash.
