Abstract

The definitive work on mud volcanoes (mv) in Trinidad was compiled by Higgins and Saunders (1974) making extensive use of the records of the oil companies in the island. However, the Salt River Mud Volcano was not among the 26 mud volcanoes identified and described by the authors. Neither for that matter was the Guayaguayare Mud Volcano noted by Herrara in 1989.
