| Description: | The deep cleft on the right (An t-Sron) marks the Glen Coe Boundary Fault of the Glencoe Cauldron Subsidence. To the left are phyllites with augite-andesites on top while to the right of the fault is granite. The phyllites, an argillaceous metamorphic rock, form the base on which are overlain a range of volcanic rocks of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. They start with the augite-andesites shown and end on the top of Bidean nam Bian and the southern summit of Beinn Fhada. Agglomerate and hornblende-andesites (V), follow, the latter forming the twin summits of Bidean nam Bian (1147.88 m.) at the head of the corrie. |
