This paper presents principally the textural and geothermometric evidence of polymagmatic activity at a monogenetic volcano along the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) in a bid to contribute to the global understanding of how such volume-limited basaltic magmatic systems operate. Preliminary geochemical data presented show that the lavas are alkali basalt and basanite (SiO2: 40.42 – 47.59 wt%, MgO: 7.61 – 9.13 wt%) and are petrographically indistinguishable. They outcrop as low mounds of columnar...
