The spectacular remnants of Paleocene lava fields in the Inner Hebrides are dominated by thick sequences of simple (sheet-like) flows and more complex compound flows. Understanding the architecture of these volcanic and interbedded sedimentary systems allows us to get a glimpse into the dynamic development of these lava fields.
