Hornito

Hornito
A Hornito (literally: little oven) is a small turret shaped spattering/ degassing vent that develops in effusive eruptions. Hornitos are rootless, meaning they aren't fed from deep sources but from hot lava running in tubes not far from the surface. When pressure in the tubes gets too high the lava and gases break out in such vents.

By the melting patterns in the 1st note and the volcanic glass in the 2nd you can see how hot and fluid the lava must have been.
