A Scourie Dyke
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A Scourie Dyke The line of dark rock cutting through the paler gneiss is a Scourie dyke. Scourie dykes were intruded between 2400 and 2200 million years ago into the Lewisian gneiss, which is at least 2700 million years old. This is a very narrow dyke, but they can be up to tens of metres in width. Notice how sharp the contact between the dyke and the country rock is. |
