"The Lake Cooper quarry is on the western side of the Corop-Heathcote road, approx. 3 km south of Corop. It is an operating quarry (2014) within which the dominant rock type is a medium-grained, greyish-green metadolerite, with occasional patches of pale mauve ferroaxinite, quartz and calcite. Steeply dipping, heavily pyritized tuff beds outcrop in the highest levels of the quarry close to the top of the ridge."
