Faulted basalts

Above the Coire Uaigneich granophyre and Middle Jurassic sediments the hornfelsed basalts are seen to be faulted due to intrusion of Coire Uaigneich Granophyre. Uplift probably induced listric normal faults in the basalts similar to Ardnamurchan uplift and consequent mass wasting processes.
