Spectacular deformation (folding) within the Grey’s Landing Ignimbrite. This is termed “Rheomorphism” and is a result of the intense temperature of the super-eruption and the pyroclastic density currents that engulf the landscape. As each high-temperature ash particle welds to the land surface (and each other) the growing deposit continues to creep and flow as a searing hot viscous glass. It is for this reason that many Yellowstone hotspot super-eruption deposits are described as “lava-like” despite being deposited from currents of hot gas and ash..
