A group of geologists standing in front of a large (~20 x 12 m) outcrop. The outcrop is beige and grey. On closer inspection the lower ~4 m consists of interbedded layers of lapilli and tuff. These layers are interpreted as maar scoria layers. Above this are two distinct massive units that contain large sandstone clasts with evidence of imbrication.
