	Cinder Cone and the Fantastic Lava Beds - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Cinder Cone is a cinder cone volcano in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
		An unusual characteristic of the Fantastic Lava Beds is the presence of anomalous quartz crystal xenocrysts (foreign bodies in igneous rock).
		The lava and pyroclastics of Cinder Cone and the Fantastic Lava Beds are made of basaltic andesite to andesite.

	John Donohue's National Park Photos- Lassen
		Northeast of Mt. Lassen are the Painted Dunes, and Fantastic Lava beds that surround the mini-volcano known as the Cinder Cone.
		Atop the cinder cone is a steeply sloped crater.
		The steep slope of the Cone is in the foreground.

	CINDER CONES (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cinder cones can be quite large in Hawai'i; those on the summit of Mauna Kea (formed during gas-rich alkalic-stage eruptions) are a few hundred meters high, whereas those on Mauna Loa and Kilauea usually range between 20 and 100 m high.
		Cinder cones are therefore composed of loose pyroclastics at the angle of repose (~33º).
		Cinder cones are built at these points, often at the same time that spatter ramparts are forming at the (less active) ends of the fissure.

		Then there are smaller volcanic peaks and fantastic lava fields, both ancient and modern, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud volcanoes, as well as boiling lakes and other interesting phenomena of a volcanic region.
		Adjoining Cinder Cone on the south and east are the chromatic dunes, colorful heaps of volcanic ash.
		Cinder Cone itself is nearly all of a reddish, dark brown, or cinder slate color.

		Cinder cones and lava domes are considered to be secondary cones, because they occur on or near composite or shield volcanoes.
		Cinder cones are peaks formed when pyroclastic materials are ejected into the air from a vent and fall back to the ground around the vent in a cone-shaped pile resembling a mound of cinders.
		Lava domes occur in the summit craters of composite volcanoes, as parasitic domes on the flanks of composite volcanoes, or as volcanoes with their own vent.

	What is a cinder cone volcano? (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A cinder cone is a pile of loose fragments that have built up around a vent during a fountaining event.
		Cinder cones can either be vents on the flank of a big volcano or they can be members of what are called "monogenetic fields".
		I guess a cinder cone volcano would be the term for a member of a monogenetic field that happens to be a cinder cone (other types of vent structures can also be members of monogenetic fields).

	Molossian Institute of Volcanology - Lassen Volcanic National Park
		The Cinder Cone complex NE of Lassen Peak was erupted in a single episode several hundred years before present and is considered part of the Lassen volcanic center.
		The creation of Cinder Cone occurred during one of three episodes of volcanism that have occurred at the Lassen volcanic center in the past 1,100 years.
		The trail to the base of the cone is 2.4 kilometers (1.5 miles) in length, and ends at the base of the cone.

	Golden Gate Photo - Lassen Volcanic National Park Gallery
		There were actually two cinder cones, one of which was all but destroyed as the subsequent lava flows (the Fantastic Lava Beds) breached the side and rafted the cinders off with it.
		Fantastic Lava Beds Close Up Along the trail that follows the western edge of the lava flow, the steep side and height of the lava flow is more apparent.
		This is aa-type basalt, with blocks of oxidized cinders that probably rafted off of the Cinder Cone as the lava flow breached the side of the cone.

		Essentially, Cinder Cone is a 700-foot-high pile of volcanic cinders -- think of fl sand -- that formed around a volcanic vent during two eruptions in the 1650s.
		The Fantastic Lava Beds is a vast area of razor-sharp volcanic rocks and boulders, piled up as though arranged by hand.
		As we hiked back from Cinder Cone, I mentioned that a recent national survey on outdoor activities showed that fewer Americans are backpacking and camping at national parks.

		Long ago I had seen reference to "Fantastic Lava Beds" and "Painted Dunes" in the eastern part of the Lassen National Park, I was in the area, and the weather was perfect - a slightly cool autumn day - today was the day.
		Returning to the trail I continued up a gentle rise to the huge cinder cone that had spawned the lava beds in that part of the park.
		They were fairly deep in the woods and exploded up through the trees to fly out to the center of the lake far from the intruder that had interrupted their midday meal.

		In the less frequented north-east corner of LNP, is the Cinder Code and Fantastic Lava Beds.
		In the 18th Century, long before the 1914 Lassen Peak eruption, this eruption filled a lake with a massive bed of lava, cooling at 2 miles wide by 2 1/2 miles long, and leaving only two seperate lakes at either end.
		There is a hiking trail running down the long end of the beds, where you can beging to appreciate the scale.

		P7031881 is a photo of the crater of the volcano \endash pretty boring in and of itself, although with a little imagination, the fact that we were standing on the rim of the crater was a little more thrilling.
		This lava flow actually extends for at least 2 miles in one direction creating what is known as \'93The Fantastic Lava Beds\'94.
		Such a large mass of lava takes a remarkably long time to cool and during th is process it continues to release gases and heat and to eject ground water that has trickled into the interior.

		All the volcanic materials at Cinder Cone therefore represent a single eruptive sequence that probably spanned no more than a few months.
		Diller knew that an “emigrant road” (the Nobles Trail), used by settlers coming to California in the early 1850s, passes close to the base of Cinder Cone.
		They noted that a large, solitary willow bush (Salix scouleriana) near the summit of Cinder Cone was “as large then as now.” Today, more than a century after Diller’s interviews, this bush is still alive and little changed.
