Extract

A Dyke of pre-Tertiary age is exposed in the lower course of the Usway Burn, a tributary of the Coquet. It is intruded among the Cheviot igneous rocks, and crosses the burn in a somewhat northeasterly direction. In hand-specimens the rock appears black or dark brown with a sub-vitreous lustre, and contains porphyritic crystals which are quite visible to the unaided eye. It weathers a bright red colour and even the fresh portions are streaked with red veins of agate.
