An Association of Rhyolite and Ignimbrite in the Kilchrist Vent, Skye
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
A small mass consisting of three intrusions of fine-textured acid rocks occurs within the basaltic agglomerates of the Kilchrist Vent of Tertiary age. One of the intrusions comprises flow-layered rhyolite and ignimbrite. It is thought that the rock-types represent two distinctive eruptive waves. A form of ovoidal structure not seen elsewhere in the Kilchrist area occurs in another rhyolite intrusion.
