I’ll admit it....I’m dumb.

WHAT does “Age=1.3MYa”, etc., stand for?

1.3 million years ago.

But the caldera has a history of lots of small eruptions leading up to and following a large blast, and the cycle lasts quite a long time.

No problem. 1.3 million years ago.

Yellowstone erupts about every 600,000 years. It’s about 620,000 years since the last one. Who knows. Might erupt in 100,000 or maybe tommorow.
