Outcrop view from the back
Can you figure out what is the sequence of events that formed these rocks? You can use the geological principles to help you in this process.
Lava flows are made up of breccia and coherent (solid) lava, can you identify the rubbly breccia and the solid lava?
Are the ash horizons older or younger than the lavas?
In the ash layer, can you see evidence of multiple eruptions? Hint – look at the colour differences, grain size, crystals, and check if these changes occur in bands.
The volcanic dyke cross-cuts both the ash layers and the lavas. Where the dyke contacts the ash and lava flow, it cuts through the layers. If you look in detail you can also see chilled margins (finer rock along the edges) in the dyke and baked margins in the surrounding rock.
