Background
Mohr and Wood (1976) map a Pliocene-Quaternary volcano in this location. Ochieng'et al. (1988) and Wilkinson (1988) map widely spaced Tertiary basaltic flows not associated with prominent volcanic centers. Smith (1991 pers. comm.) notes that the youthful features of the small volcanic cone Porr may indicate a Quaternary age.---
