Layered and massive gabbro
At this outcrop very thin layers of gabbro at the base of the roadcut are overlain by massive gabbro and are cut by pegmatitic gabbro (coarse-grained gabbro) indicationg the complex geological procedures that took place within a magma chamber. The alternating white (plagioclase rich) and dark (pyroxene rich) gabbroic layers have been formed either due to the interruption of the process of fractional crystallization by the repeated ascend of new magma into the magma chamber, or by the diffusion of minerals to the bottom of the magma chamber as a result of the thermal activation of their kinetic properties. Diffusion is the mineral transportation process from places of higher concentration to the places of lower concentration within the magma chamber.
