Koko crater, rising above the eastern coast of Oahu, is one a group of tuff cones and satellitic vents of late-Pleistocene to possible Holocene age on the eastern flank of the massive Koolau shield volcano.  This elongated shield volcano of Pliocene-Pleistocene age forms much of the eastern half of Oahu.  Koko crater is part of the Honolulu Series, a group of tuff cones, cinder cones, and spatter cones, many with associated lava flows. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1997 (Smithsonian Institution).
