| Caption: | West face of Aonach Dubh. Glen Coe. Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | Thick flows of rhyolitic lavas and ignimbrites form the lighter upper part of the bluff. These overlie numerous flows of augite-andesite, which rest unconformably on phyllites. 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. Upper cliffs of Aonach Dubh are rhyolite lavas resting on lavas of basic andesite, all of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. The rocks are preserved in a downfaulted block within an elliptical ring structure called a cauldron subsidence. |
