The Tshibinda Volcanic Field is described by Pouclet et al. (2016) as consisting of numerous well-preserved scoria cones and lava flows at the border of the Tshibinda step. The elongate SSW-NNE field is 33 km long, extending from Tshibinda to Leymera. Mapping revealed sixty cones, 50-150 m high, with most of them being a source of lava flows, primarily down the fault scarp and spreading towards the eastern lowlands. Previous work dated the activity from 1.9 to 1.6 Ma (Bellon and Pouclet, 1980).
