a Image taken from near the inner crater wall looking to the east. Arrows indicate the preferential burying angle caused by the later parts of the pyroclastic surge partially covering previously ejecta ballistic blocks. b From the same location as in (a), looking to the north towards Donald Mound (Fig. 1), a positive topographic feature. Note the sharp ballistic margin (arrow). c Image of the south-eastern area of the crater wall from the centre of the main crater floor. Note the discoloured ash oxidation high up on the crater wall. d The eastern edge of the pyroclastic surge deposit. Note the medium grey-coloured outer margin of the deposit marking current lift-off
