The Dada Ale silicic stratovolcano and caldera and the Quarry lava dome lie on opposite sides of the Dadar graben. These rhyolitic volcanoes, with Potassium-Argon dates of 0.62 and 0.65 million years, respectively, were originally formed as a single volcanic structure that was dismantled by formation of the axial depression of the Dadar graben (Lahitte et al., 2003b).
