The triangular-shaped Anjouan Island is the dissected remnant of a large shield volcano. Formation of the N'Tingui shield volcano was followed by Pleistocene fissure eruptions in three directions. A long interval of erosion was followed by the eruption of lava flows that filled deep valleys and flooded coastal areas. Ages reported by Rusquet et al. (2024) were in the 0.94-0.95 Ma range.
