Description:
Presence of cavity mineralisation below red bole. Main section is vesicular and amygdaloidal, showing clear secondary mineral pockets.The vesicles are randomly scattered across the flow and give the rock a porous appearance.No weathered joints were observed, indicating limited surface alteration.This is a simple flow with no compound structures evident.The red bole beneath the overlying flow is compact, showing a well-developed paleosol.The red horizon above is highly compact and appears unchanged.The reduced horizon is exposed clearly in the present location. Vertical and wide-spaced joints are weathered, but not equally spaced.
