Abstract

Field evidence and theoretical arguments are used to elucidate the form of the intrusion. In the absence of a more accurate term this is described as chonolithic. Passive injection of the magma into a potential vacuum has enabled control to be exercised on the intrusion-form by the country rocks and their structures. The effects of this control are discussed.
