Kilauea Volcano: The 1967-68 summit eruption
On 5 November 1967 Kilauea volcano began erupting lava from vents on the floor of its summit pit crater. Halemaumau, 170 meters deep. This eruption ended nearly 2 years of the quiescence that followed a short lived eruption on the east rift zone of Kilauea in December 1965 (1). The 1967-68 eruption was the first activity in Halemaumau since July 1961 (2). The eruption ceased on 13 July 1968 follo

Distribution of scandium between coexisting biotite and hornblende in igneous rocks
Scandium analyses of more than 90 pairs of coexisting biotite and hornblende from igneous rocks of various provinces (including Southern California, Boulder, Sierra Nevada, Boulder Creek batholiths and the Jemez Mountains volcanic rocks) indicate that the distribution ratio (Kd = Schornblende/Scbiotite) for most samples closely approached that of an equilibrium distribution. Median Kd values for t

Nuées Ardentes of the 1968 Eruption of Mayon Volcano, Philippines
Mayon Volcano, southeastern Luzon, began a series of explosive eruptions at 0900 April 21, 1968, and by May 15 more than 100 explosions had occurred, at least 6 people had been killed, and roughly 100 square km had been covered by more than 5 cm of airfall ash, blocky ash flows, and a lava flow. All material crupted was porphyritic augite-hypersthene andesite.Explosions from the summit crater (ele
