Volcanic ash in Kansas? It's true there's thick deposits there, but where are the source volcanoes? Geologists began puzzling over this in the late 1800s when these deposits were first recognized.

Always an interesting update, and great for keeping REAL information on social media to combat the alarmist mis-informers. When I see Mike on a thumbnail, I click, and am never disappointed.

I abstained from the news for 24 hours and the title shocked me - did I miss a Yellowstone eruption ... Thank you for putting out scientific facts and probabilities!

The Nebraska ashfall state park is worth doing a search as well.

One place that I'd like to see an in-depth investigation of is "Two Buttes" in southeastern Colorado. It stands alone on a relatively flat plane, which suggests volcanic in origin, but the stone on top is sandstone. Oil well geologists that I have talked to have told me that they structure extends far underground, with the underground rock formations sloping up towards the "mountain".

Being from Kansas. I find that very interesting

Wow... Someone talking about the Yellowstone Supervolcano that actually knows what a Supervolcano is. Excuse me while I keel over from the shock of it all.
