∙ 15y agoNo, while Geologists agree that Devils Tower was formed by the intrusion of igneous material, they cannot agree how exactly that process took place. Geologists Carpenter and Russell studied Devils Tower in the late 1800s and came to the conclusion that the Tower was indeed formed by an igneous intrusion. Later geologists searched for further explanations. Several geologists believe the molten rock comprising the Tower might not have surfaced while other researchers are convinced the tower is all that remains of what once was a large explosive volcano. Thus it is not a composite volcano but may be the last remains of the core of a volcano that has now disappeared.
