<DIV>Yesterday I suggested that names were needed for the eruptive vent between
Wall Pool and Black Opal Pool and for the new thing near the river.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Upon reading Paperiello's paper about Wall and Black Opal (GOSA
Transactions, Vol. VI), it is abundantly clear that the vent that erupted on
Thursday evening, that is the easternmost part of Wall, was separately referred
to as Black Diamond Pool during the 1930s. I would humbly suggest that that name
be used now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. As for the new thing on downstream near the river, people today
suggested "Ivory and Ebony," in reference to the one vent spouting clear water
and the other being dark in color. Of course, that cannot work, given Ivory at
Heart Lake and Ebony at Norris. And maybe it is too soon for a name, anyway.
However, in keeping with all the gems and semiprecious stones at Biscuit Basin
(Silver Globe, Shell, Jewel, Sapphire, Black Pearl, Coral, Black Diamond, and
Black Opal), a similar name might be in keeping with tradition. I keep trying to
think of the name for a rock that is both black and white, but banded onyx is
all I can come up with....</DIV>
