| Description: | Kennack Bay (W. side), Ruan Minor. Looking NNE. Rocks in shore below serpentine cliff. They are banded Kennack Gneisses; banding best seen in land-scoured rocks of foreground. Dip of banding east about 35 degrees. In distance a pale coloured reddish sill of granite gneiss. Hammer rests on dark grey gneiss with little banding. The gneiss is cut by red veins of pegmatite, passing into fine quartz veins (alaskite); they do not intersect the granite sill behind but seem to arise from it. These veins anastomose and cut the banding. Hence they are subsequent to the foliation of the complex. |
