EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the unique geological formation of indurated Lias Shale in Basalt at Portrush in Northern Ireland. The image offers a breathtaking view of the intricate rock structure, revealing the striking contrast between the dark, dense Basalt and the lighter, layered Shale. Indurated Lias Shale is a type of sedimentary rock that forms when mud or clay is compressed and cemented together under high pressure and temperature. In this instance, it can be seen nestled within the Basalt, a volcanic rock, creating a dyke - a type of intrusion that forms when magma or molten rock forces its way into existing rock. Located in County Antrim, Portrush is a popular tourist destination in Northern Ireland, renowned for its beautiful coastline and unique geological features. The area is rich in geological history, with various rock formations and structures that attract visitors from around the world. The photograph provides a glimpse into the fascinating geological processes that have shaped the landscape of Portrush and the surrounding area. It serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that lie hidden beneath our feet and the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us.
