Geology at Croft Quarry
A more detailed view of the area shown in SP5196 : 3 stages of geological development at Croft Quarry.. The magma upwelling can be seen clearly here, just to the left of centre.
N.B. The noticeable horizontal bands about half-way up the granite, and halfway between the granite top and the main light band of sedimentary rock are ledges remaining from Quarrying activity, not geological features.
