Fragmental volcaniclastic debris deposits - volcanic breccias containing blocks of amygdaloidal basalt, tuffs, ignimbrites and ash within matrix (VBr)

Normal faults (ticks on downthrown side)

Minor intermediate to basic intrusions (dykes, sills and sheets) Dacitic-andesitic/microdioritic, basaltic-doleritic (D)

Plutonic intrusions - alkali feldspar granites/porphyritic/microgranites (Gr)

Gabbroic plug-like intrusions (Ga)

Silica-rich lavas (rhyolitic in composition) (R)

Sedimentary sandstone beds - arenaceous with gravel within matrix, heavily faulted (Sst)

Grey dolostones (chert bearing) - dolomitic marbles, hydrothermally altered marbles, metacarbonates (Do)

Fossiliferous mudstone and shale deposits containing few layers of silt and sand between laminations (M)

Bedded limestone containing thin silty layers and subordinate mud (argillaceous clay deposits) (Lm)

Sandstone with thick interbedded mudstone layers (S-M)

Conglomerate and breccia gradations with a carbonate dominated groudmass hosting dolomite and quartzite clasts (Br)

Reverse-thrust fault (teeth on hanging wall)

Reverse oblique-slip fault (teeth on hanging wall)
