The Lower Chindwin area contains seven or eight late-Pliocene and Pleistocene explosion craters. A lake-filled crater located at Songyuang is surrounded by olivine basaltic lava flows and pyroclastic material. This region along the lower Chindwin River also contains rhyolitic, dacitic, and andesitic rocks. Although some workers have made statements about the presence of Holocene or "sub-Recent" basalts, there is no clear morphological or dating evidence of such activity.
