| Description: | Coire Creachainn, east side of Ben Cruachan, 5.6 km. west-north-west of Dalmally, Argyllshire. Corrie in the Ben Cruachan granite. A classic corrie or cirque formed by glacial erosion by a small valley glacier. The Ben Cruachan Granite represents the second phase of the Etive Complex, a larger three-phase elliptical composite pluton. It is regarded as a post-tectonic i.e. post-Caledonian Orogeny intrusion. It is thought to be emplaced by cauldron-subsidence and is itself variable in composition from a monzodiorite to a monzogranite. |
