| Description: | Stob Dearg, north-east face of Buachaille Etive Mor at the east end of Glen Coe. Inverness-shire. Cliffs of rhyolites and tuff of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. Within zone of Glen Coe cauldron subsidence. The smooth rock slopes near the bottom are the breccias of quartzite and quartzose schists, a band of dark shales yielded some plant remains. Above is the 1500 ft. of rhyolites and rhyolitic breccia flows forming the precipitous cliffs and the huge vertical walls. Numerous joint planes often form a series of step-like ledges. The Glen Coe cauldron subsidence is a volcanic sequence of rhyolites, andesites and ignimbrites preserved in a downfaulted block within an elliptical ring fracture. The cauldron is 9 miles by 5 and has some thousands of feet downthrow. |
