Extract

In the following pages an account is given of the rock assemblages produced at the contact of a dolcrite intrusion with chalk. Owing to the intense localized assimilation of calcium carbonate by the dolerite magma, unusual rock types are produced. The products of the endogenous contact-zone are dealt with in detail. Those of the exogenous contact-zone have in part been described already, but some additional data are incorporated in this account.
