Hi List,
  Thought some of you might be interested in seeing

Figure 14. Ubinas eruptions in May 2006 ejected
volcanic bombs, seen here in their impact craters. A
2-m-diameter bomb (top), struck ~ 200 m from the
crater. A crater containing a large, partly buried,
smooth-faced bomb is seen in the bottom photo.
Numerous bucket-sized angular blocks appear on the far
side of the impact crater. Two geologists stand
adjacent a ~ 2-m-long block that ended up on the
impact crater's rim. The bomb fragments were of
andesitic composition. Top photo from Salazar and
others (2006); bottom photo from INGEMMET website.
