First evidence of sinter and travertine in Cameroon: fault reactivation and geothermal implications

The Laopanga hot spring deposits along the “Cameroon Volcanic Line” (CVL) are distinctive in being both siliceous sinter and travertine, made up of immature amorphous silica and mainly calcite, and associated with detrital deposits such as claystone, sandstone and conglomerate.
