Intrusion of Cone-Sheets

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Geological Laboratory, Groningen, Holland.

Summary

Evidence from Mull and Ardnamurchan is brought forward to show that the injection of cone-sheets is accompanied by a vertical lifting of the upper wall. This confirms Anderson's explanation. It is argued that the fracturing and injection are of a quite sudden character and that it is in the nature of the process that no evidence from recent volcanoes has yet been obtained of contemporary cone-sheet injection.
