| Description: | Port Uamh Beathaig and Beinn na h-Iolaire, south of Loch na Keal, south-west Mull. Moine gneiss forming the wave-cut platform in the foreground overlain by Mesozoic sediments (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous) forming the cliffs behind. These are overlain in turn by Tertiary lavas forming the high cliffs in the distance. Mull is one of the series of Tertiary volcanic centres grouped along the west coast of Scotland and relates to a period of crustal extension between 55 and 61 million years ago. Similar aged lavas and intrusions in the Faeroes and East Greenland were all once part of the same Tertiary igneous province, before being separated by the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. |
