Rock plug - bysmalith

Japanese: 岩栓 - がんせん（英語表記）bysmalith
Rock plug - bysmalith
An intrusive rock body is bounded by faults from the surrounding area and has a cylindrical or plug-like shape [Iddings: 1898]. The bottom of the intrusive rock body is consistent with the surrounding geology, but the sides are faulted, and the center was cut off and lifted upward as the mochi pan was forming. The Greek word byssos means from below.
