  A vesicular basalt with dunite inclusions (xenoliths)
     
  
  A vesicular basaltic bomb (learn about bombs here: bomb) that has been abraded by exposure in a desert environment resulting in rounded edges. This is a small ventifact.
  
  
  A cored bomb that was ejected from the volcanic vent, then re-entered the magma (talk about a bad day!) and was ejected again.
  
  
  
  Some pumice of variable composition collected at but not attributed to Soda Lake maar in western Nevada.
  
  
  
  An vesicular olivine basalt bomb fragment from Upsal Hogback tuff rings, near Fallon , NV.
  
  A piece of Vesuvius, a volcano of historical notoriety.
  
  
  
  An Obsidianite of unknown origin.

• 1 2020-06-24T19:55:56+00:00 Pumice from Soda Lake NV 3 plain 2020-09-02T22:34:00+00:00 back to volcanic
  
  This sample was collected at Soda Lake, NV, a maar volcano in western Nevada. However, since Soda Lake is a maar type volcano it is unlikely that this pumice was a juvenile product of the eruption of that maar, but was likely deposited by a different eruption and perhaps excavated as an accidental clast during Soda Lake's eruption.
