[Geysers] Unnamed geyser on Geyser Hill near Sponge (Schwarz)

[Ralph Taylor]

I agree (and was probably the one who told Graham the name).  As I recall,
Scott Bryan told me about Slot Geyser many years ago, way back in the last
century as I recall.  Having been out there in the course of my NPS duties
over the years, the eruption on the left in the image does originate from a
narrow crack in the sinter that looks like a slot while the larger hole on
the right in the image is not slot-like.  The alignment of
Plate-UNNG-Slot-Boardwalk-Park Place is very striking when looking along the
line.

Here's a photo from the boardwalk in 2007 with two features erupting, I was
told the left one was Slot and the right one closer to Plate was an UNNG.
Of course there might be an unnamed crack further to the left too...  Given
the shape of the eruption seen on the webcam, it looks more likely to come
from the round vent on the right.

Can anyone confirm which one is Slot?

Great!  A few years back Ralph Taylor taught me the litany: From right to
left, Plate, Slot, unnamed crack next to Slot, Boardwalk, Park Place.
