CGS: Field Trip Follow Up

On the evening of 12th August 2015 a dozen members of the Cumberland Geological Society met to clear and examine the site near Keswick. The structures were measured and recorded and the interpretation that they are volcanic bombs was challenged.  Various other interpretations were suggested but none had universal acceptance within the group.   A hand specimen of the rounded structures was collected and subsequently cut to show the internal structure.  Discussion continues and comments are invited.
