Boulders are a ubiquitous but often neglected feature present on silicic lava flows and domes. As part of an analysis of the emplacement history of silicic extrusions, we determined boulder size distributions on young lava flows and studied the development of boulders on the active Mount St. Helens and Mount Unzen lava domes. We find measurable variations in average boulder size across a single extrusion and between different extrusions that are related to changes in emplacement conditions during eruption and flow emplacement.
