Description:
Joint spacing shifts from wide at the bottom to close and chaotic at the top, indicating changing cooling or stress conditions Rounded boulders above suggest strong physical weathering. Continuous joints in some areas reflect consistent
structural patterns, while chaotic joints indicate instability. Overall exposure shows structural complexity and varied weathering across levels.

Geology:
Age (Chronostratigraphy):
Upper Cretaceous - Paleocene
Geological province:
DVP
Lithostratigraphy:
Widely spaced joints in the lower basalt layers. Closely spaced, chaotic, unstable joints at the top. Rounded boulders above the jointed zone. Continuous joints at some places cutting across units. Variation in joint spacing from bottom to top.
Lithology:
Basalt fragments from jointed layers. Rounded boulders/tomode samples from the upper part. No zeolites or cavity minerals were mentioned here, so none are added.
