| Description: | Sgurr of Eigg, Isle of Eigg. Inverness-shire. Part of the south of the Sgurr of Eigg showing Eocene pitchstone with felsite sheets truncating lavas. The lighter bands in the cliff face are the flat-lying, pale-coloured felsitic sheets of devitrified pitchstone. They are generally well defined, especially at their upper edges which are usually marked by a slight overhanging pitchstone. The felsite sheets intrude the pitchstone and post-date the columnar jointing since they transgress the discontinuities where changes occur in the style of jointing. |
