Stratigraphy:
Porphyritic Granite of the Chilimanzi Suite.
Description:
The outcrop is very small with irregular contacts which in part are shallow dipping, suggesting that the orbicular zone is tabular. In places there is a banding of finer granitic rocks along the contact and elsewhere the orbicules are in direct contact with the granite. - see the attached guide.
