| Description: | Shore, between Auchenhew and Levencorroch, south coast of Arran, Buteshire. Palaeocene dolerite dykes split by newer dolerite intrusions, forming compound dykes, intrusive in Triassic sandstone. Many dykes were intruded into the Triassic sandstones of south Arran. In places the earlier, already solidified dykes acted as conduits for later upwellings of magma. The narrow dyke of finer-grained closely-jointed basalt (upstanding, left) is earlier than the more widely-jointed dolerite (low ground, centre) which cooled more slowly. |
