In late 1986 blasting occurred in the Orange Mountain Basalt adjacent to this intersection. A 30 foot deep trench was excavated for the construction of a sewerage pumping station. A 18 foot long tube with two 6 foot long offshoots was discovered towards the bottom half of this hole. The tube was lined with prehnite fingers after anhydrite up to 2 inches long, associated with calcite. Many hundreds of specimens were removed from this location over a three month period.

| Early Jurassic 174.1 - 201.3 Ma ID: 2821781 | Orange Mountain Basalt Age: Early Jurassic (174.1 - 201.3 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Orange Mountain Basalt Description: (Olsen, 1980) - Dark-greenish-gray to greenish-black basalt composed mostly of calcic plagioclase (typically An65) and clinopyroxene (augite and pigeonite); crystals are generally less than 1 mm (0.04 in) long. Consists of three major flows. The flows are separated in places by a weathered zone or by a thin, up to 3-m- (10-ft-) thick bed of red siltstone (not shown on map) or volcaniclastic rock. Lowest flow is generally massive and has widely spaced curvilinear joints; columnar joints in lowest flow become more common toward the northeast. Middle flow is massive or has columnar jointing. Lower part of the uppermost flow has pillow structures; upper part has pahoehoe flow structures. Tops and bottoms of flow layers are vesicular. Maximum thickness is about 182 m (597 ft).
