| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Coire nan Laogh, Cuillins, Skye. Glaciated corrie in the south part of the Cuillins Complex, a Tertiary part-layered, gabbroic, plutonic igneous complex. Layering can just be seen on some of the rock faces. The rocks seen are mostly part of the Outer Marginal Gabbros and Eucrites and are thought to be the earliest units of the Cuillin Complex. The near-vertical gashes running up the slopes are weathered-out igneous dykes, part of a large dyke swarm that was intruded late in the history of the complex. |
