Clepsydra geyser is in almost constant eruption from several vents. Its name is Greek for water clock, because the geyser used to erupt regularly every three minutes. Since the 1959 Hebgen earthquake, however, Clepsydra erupts almost without pause.

The Fountain Paint Pot is one of the best mudpots in the park. The mud is composed of clay minerals and fine particles of silica.
