Hello Janet, The feature you took pictures of has been there for at least a decade, however most of its life it was a full cone. About 2-3 years ago the side of the cone started to sag and then just washed away. The little spring/thermal feature occasionally overflows lightly and that appears to stop the cone from building up again. At least that is the time line I remember, others may have more info.
