Pipe-like bodies, of granitic composition, occur in certain meladiorities in Guernsey. Their average diameter is 3 inches, and they are all similarly inclined. Some connect downwards with an acid vein system; others with a discontinuous acid layer. It is considered that the pipes were formed before the meladiorite host rocks had solidified, and that their inclination was the result of relative movement between the rocks above and below.
