Most of those cones are very old. They formed from the last gasp melts erupted during the formation of the mare, after most of the basaltic magmas of the mare had solidified. There may still be some last gasp volcanism on the Moon...witness the occasional gaseous flare that occurs there (lunar transient phenomena), but most likely nothing eruptive enough to create a pyroclastic cone. |
Renormalised,
Would you like to join the GLR group?
This is simply the greatest group I know devoted to the serious Lunar Research with plenty of geologists there like yourself!
Your knowledge would be much appreciated indeed, so I hope you can join us.
This is their website:
