Abstract

The Quaternary volcano Rockeskyllerkopf, in the West Eifel volcanic field, is a composite volcanic complex erupted on to dolomite of Devonian age, ~500 ± 100 ka BP. The eruption style evolved as interaction with ground and surface water decreased; from maar-like deposits to a scoria cone topped by a lava flow. The scoria cone is the focus of this study. Within the upper most section of the Rockeskyll quarry,
