| Description | This study introduces the first detailed petrographic and geochemical characteristics (including Sr–Nd isotopes) of the Cenozoic alkaline lamprophyre of monchiquite to camptonite composition that forms a dyke body exposed into a striking shape of a rock wall with distinct horizontal columnar jointing. The dyke is located near Suletice in the České Středohoří Volcanic Complex, and due to its morphological similarity to the dyke system of the Devil's Walls in the Ralská Pahorkatina Volcanic Complex, it is called Devil's Wall near Suletice or locally "Hibsch's monchiquite", according to the geologist J. E. Hibsch, who first documented the dyke. |
