Ne Ch'e Ddhawa

{{Short description|Eroded tuya in the Fort Selkirk Volcanic Field of central Yukon, Canada}} '''Ne Ch'e Ddhäwa''' is the Northern Tutchone name for an eroded tuya approximately 7 km up the Yukon River from Fort Selkirk (UTM zone 8V 383955 E, 69600091 N) (it has been informally called '''Wootten's Cone''') in the [[Fort Selkirk Volcanic Field]] of central [[Yukon]], Canada.<ref>Jackson, L.E., Jr.et al., Pliocene and Pleistocene volcanic interaction with Cordilleran ice sheets, damming of the Yukon River and vertebrate Palaeontology, Fort Selkirk Volcanic Group, west-central Yukon, Canada, Quaternary International (2011), Volume 260, 18 May 2012, Pages 3-20</ref> It has been described as a [[cinder cone]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080615214848/http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/volcanoes/cat/volcano_e.php?id=svb_ncd_113 Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes: Ne Ch'e Ddhawa (Wooton's Cone)]</ref> or a [[subglacial mound]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=W7s6ukzCucUC&dq=%22Ne+Ch%27e+Ddhawa%22+%22subglacial+mound%22&pg=PA115 Issues in Earth Sciences, Geology and Geophysics]</ref> The volcano erupted [[subglacial eruption|subglacially]] between 2.0 and 2.3 million years ago during the early [[Pleistocene]], erupting [[hyaloclastite]] [[tuff]]s, [[breccia]]s, and pillow breccias. These hyaloclastites locally contain exotic clasts and bodies of till melted from an ice sheet during the subglacial eruption.<ref>Jackson Jr., L.E., 1989.
