#: Quotations
#:* 1859 - R. C. Haskell in American journal of science and arts, series XXVIII
#:*: We...saw �pahoihoi� or solid lava forming, and also �aa� or clinkers.
#:* 1883 - Clarence E. Dutton in the fourth Annual report of the United States Geological Survey
#:*: The second form of the lavas is called by the natives a-a, and its contrast with pahoehoe is about the greatest imaginable. It consists mainly of clinkers sometimes detached, sometimes partially agglutinated together with a bristling array of sharp, jagged, angular fragments.
#:* 1944 - Charles A. Cotton: Volcanoes as landscape forms
#:*: Cooling and solidification frequently takes a different course...in lava flows, producing the clinker-like �aa'''� lava.
