Extract

The spherulitic rhyolites of Jersey show a development probably unequalled in the British Isles. They are particularly notable for the large size of the spherulites and for the variety of structures which they present. The object of the present paper is to describe some of these structures and to discuss their origin.

The first worker to publish a description of spherulitic rhyolites from Jersey was Davies (2). Their field relations were described by Noury (4), while De Lapparent has discussed their petrology (5), (8) and the vexed question of their age (7). Parkinson (10), (12), (14) has given admirable and detailed accounts of the Bouley Bay rocks.
