| Caption: | The Bonawe Quarries, located on the north shore of Loch Etive, lying to the east of Connel Bridge, Argyll-shire. |
| Description: | Close-up of part of the current quarry face within the Cruachan monzodioritic facies of the sub-volcanic (c. 3km emplacement depth) early Devonian (c. 400 million year old) Etive pluton. Here the monzodiorite is crowded with rafts and xenoliths of metasedimentary rocks of the Bonawe Succession, part of the Neoproterozoic age Dalradian Supergroup, that locally contain intrusions of weakly foliated contact metamorphically altered porphyritic microdiorite. The remains of a drill hole from the blasting process is seen in the mid-ground. |
