Asset Overview

Low grade metasedimentary rocks, Silurian in age, dating from the closing of Iapetus, are intruded by a composite (basalt outer + granite inner) cone sheet of Palaeogene age, related to the opening of the Atlantic. The NE-SW strike of the metasedimentary rocks is clearly cross-cut at this location by the approximately N-S striking intrusive contact. Initial view is approximately due south. This model corresponds approximately to Location 5 on the larger model by MCG 3D here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/mourne-geology-coastal-processes-glasdrumman-83bb5841311f4111bb200500fd4a62b2
