Caption: | Dumbarton Rock. |
Description: | The vent contains a plug of microporphyritic olivine-basalt of Jedburgh/Dalmeny type and of Lower Carboniferous age intruded into Devono-Carboniferous sediments. The plug occurs within a screen of vent agglomerate and collapsed sediment. Dumbarton Rock is a crag-and-tail, the 'tail' of which descends eastwards beneath marine and alluvial deposits. North of the River Clyde at Dumbarton, a group of vents cutting the Lower Carboniferous sediments lies at the south-western end of the Dumbarton-Fintry line of volcanic centres. The prominent landmark of Dumbarton Rock is one of these vents. |
