Cyprus Geosite 3 lower pillow lavas

One of the most important and spectacular exposures of the Lower Pillow Lavas is the slope of a gorge in the Akaki river, which is the classic locality reference for the study of these types of rocks. This outcrop exhibits the stratigraphically lower part of the volcanic sequence, where a lower unit of hyaloclastites and an upper unit of pillow lavas are cut by swarms of near vertical dykes.

Cyprus geosite 25 Peridotite, pyroxenite and pegmatitic gabbro

The roadcut exposes at least three episodes of magmatic activity, which are evidence of the complex multiple intrusive evolution of the lower oceanic crust. Banded ultramafic rocks such as dunite and pyroxenite are intruded by plagioclase bearing poikilitic wehrlite and subsequently younger dykes cut all the older rock types.

Cyprus Geosite 44 Ancient mine galleries

In this outcrop basaltic dykes host sulphide deposits, which attracted the attention of ancient prospectors. Four small ancient galleries appear in this roadcut and an excavated furnace site in a vineyard down the road.
