#MudpotMonday.
One of the most foul mudpots I’ve seen in #Yellowstone’s backcountry.
Deep gray = iron sulfide minerals like kaolinite & fine-grained pyrite. This mudpot also contains petroleum distillate. In case you’re wondering, this paintpot smelled as foul as it looks!

This #thermalgeek observes #MudpotMonday. Here are two photos of the lovely Thumb Paintpots at West Thumb Geyser Basin, #Yellowstone.

a view of the giant mudpot area in Lassen Volcanic National Park called Bumpass Hell. sulfurous vapor rises from several places. a deep green thermal pool is in the center of the pic. an observation deck with 3 visitors can be seen at the center of the pic's right edge

a churning hot mudpot at the Sulphur Works area near the southern entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park. the smell is nearly overwhelming from the emitted vapor.

volcanic swirling mud flowing like a primordial soup.
