Periodic replenishments of picritic magma (1) rejuvenated the magma chamber causing sliding and slumping (2) and intruded laterally into earlier cumulates (3). Magma fountaining into the chamber (4a) flows off the roof and down the sides as crystal-laden, gravity-driven currents (4b), dislodging crystal mushes as they move, then spread across the floor, reworking cumulate debris and depositing this material and primary crystals on the floor (4c). Movement on faults was accompanied by magma injection, thermal erosion of earlier rocks and their fragmentation to form breccia zones (5). Slides of coherent blocks of cumulate across partly liquefied cumulate led to spectacular slump mèlanges (6). (Emeleus et al. [1996]. After Emeleus and Bell [2005].) (?
