Interesting if true, but I have my doubts. The sources involved confirm they are shield volcanoes who have also had pyroclastic phases during their volcanic life cycles, but does that make them pyroclastic shields? From the description of pyroclastic shields in the article, I get the impression that pyroclastics are part of their eruption style as shield-building volcanoes. But the volcanoes in question seem to have shifted from chiefly one style of eruption (basalt shields) to chiefly another style (pyroclastic cones) over a long time. - Gilgamesh ( talk) 11:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
