The Clermont maar eruption has been previously TL dated around 160 ky. In the crater-lake sediments, between 86 and 28 m deep, 111 well identified ash-falls have been encountered. No acid tephra has been discovered, but several layers rich in acicular minerals indicate acid eruptions, the origin of which remains unclear. Between 15 and 7 ky, 14 main ash-falls have been recognized...
