| Description: | Whiting Bay, south-east coast of Arran, Buteshire. Palaeocene dolerite dykes intrusive into Triassic sandstone. The dyke in the foreground is about 5 metres wide. It is one of many intruded during the emplacement of the subvolcanic centres of north and central Arran. The dykes have fine-grained, chilled margins, and rather coarser-grained centres, which are more resistant to weathering. In the middle distance, the dyke splits in two. Exposures of the surrounding sandstone can be seen in the distance, left. |
