TL;DR: The Fontana Lapilli deposit is one of very few examples of basaltic Plinian eruptions discovered so far as mentioned in this paper.However, it is difficult to make a distinction between the two types of clasts, making a distinction impossible on that base alone.

TL;DR: The Fontana Lapilli deposit was erupted in the late Pleistocene from a vent, or multiple vents, located near Masaya volcano (Nicaragua) and is the product of one of the largest basaltic Plinian eruptions studied so far as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a detailed morphological characterization of tephra particles from different eruptions (Fontana Lapilli, Masaya, Nicaragua; Keanakāko'i Formation, Kilauea, USA; recent dome explosions of Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat) and calculated their Terminal Fall Velocity (TFV) as obtained based on different drag prediction models.

TL;DR: Villarrica (Chile) is one of the most active volcanoes in South America having erupted about 60 times in the last 460 years as mentioned in this paper, although its historical eruptive activity has been mainly effusive and weakly explosive, it had strong explosive behaviour in postglacial times.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution in eruptive style of the volcano from highly explosive to a lava lake/Strombolian ac- tivity corresponds to significant changes in the shallow plumbing system (which is now at much shallower depths).
