Asset Overview

This Ordovician ignimbrite is from the Rosroe peninsula in Connemara, western Ireland. Fiammé are preserved as dark streaks in the paler groundmass. There's a suggestion that they are oblate ('pancake shaped') as with the right section, they are approximately circular from the 'top', while long lens-shaped from the 'side'.
