	Dike (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dikes are usually high angle to near vertical in orientation, but subsequent tectonic deformation may rotate the including sequence.
		Dikes often form as either radial or concentric swarms around plutonic intrusives or around volcanic necks or feeder vents in volcanic cones.
		Pegmatite dikes are extremely coarsely crystalline granitic rocks often associated with late stage granite intrusions or metamorphic segregations.

	GSA Cordilleran Section Field Trip Guidebook: Independence Dike Swarm
		Dikes correlated with the IDS occur north of the Mt. Morrison quadrangle in the Snow Lake pendant of the central Sierra Nevada, but these dikes likely formed much farther to the south and were translated by Cretaceous dextral faulting to their present location (Lahren et al., 1990; Schweickert and Lahren, 1990).
		Dikes here are shallow-level examples of Independence dikes and resemble dikes exposed in the Ord and Rodman Mountains to the north and west (Dibblee 1964a, 1964b) that cut nearly coeval volcanic rocks of the Upper Sidewinder series (e.g., Schermer and Busby, 1994).
		Dikes in this area mainly strike 320° and are interpreted to have formed during extension orthogonal to the swarm (Karish et al., 1987; Schermer, 1993), based on the observation that the dikes both were injected along and are cut by normal faults in the Upper Sidewinder volcanic series.

		I believe in the context of geology a "dike" is a place where rock type has intruded into another rock type, often as magma seeping into cracks in older rock and hardening.
		So a pegmatite dike would be an intrusion of pegmatite into some other type of rock.

		Dikes would obviously compromise the stability of a burial site, and so the goal would be to bury radioactive waste where dikes would not form.
		They analyzed dikes in terms of their proximity to volcanos, and determined that the mineralogy of the dike, as well as position relative to the volcano, exerts a considerable and predictable (quantifiable) influence on the probability of a dike intersecting a potential burial site.

		The best exposure of these dikes is on the eastern face of Mt. Moran where the "Black Dike" extends from the summit of the peak downward to Leigh Lake on the floor of the valley.
		The flat top of Mt. Moran coincides with this surface of erosion between the Precambrian and younger rocks, and on the summit, a small remnant of the oldest Paleozoic rocks (the Flathead sandstone) is preserved as a light-brown-colored outcrop on the southern half of the peak.
		The fl dike, which traverses the summit of Mt. Moran, does not cut across this sandstone, indicating that the sandstone is younger in age than the dike.

	EMPLACEMENT MECHANISM OF A MESOZOIC CAMPTONITE DIKE, WINOOSKI, VERMONT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Dikes represent magma conduits that develop either along preexisting structural weaknesses in rocks or along an echelon fracture array that is produced during magma emplacement by a hydrofracture-type mechanism.
		The dike was emplaced in the Cambrian Winooski Dolostone which consists of thin beds (15 cm average) that strike N18E and dip 9SE.
		The presence of horns, bridges, and dike-parallel joints suggests that this dike was emplaced within an echelon fracture array that was created during emplacement by a hydrofracture-type mechanism.

		This transition of rock types is due to a dike, which is a sheetlike body of igneous rock that cuts across layering or contacts in the rock into which it intrudes.
		The dikes located in Osbornedale State Park are all feeder dikes, which help supply the large lava flows in the Hartford Basin 200 million years ago.
		This particular dike is composed of diabase, a fine-grained igneous rock that cooled rapidly near the earth's surface.

		The dike (#5) is a tabular igneous rock formation that "cuts across the grain" of the host rock body created when a magma (liquid rock) injects itself at depth into a crack or other plane of weakness in that host rock (in this case, the tuff).
		Dikes are often thought of as vertical and sills as horizontal, although that's technically not necessarily true.
		Then lastly, the fault "cut" the tuffs and the dike, causing the dike to be offset and bringing the yellow tuff in contact with the white tuff.

		Most of the dikes occur in the crystalline rocks surrounding the basins where their exposures provide samples of the magma that existed at some considerable depth in the crust and which may differ significantly from that of the associated lava.
		In correlating dikes with lavas it is important, therefore, to consider what processes might cause differences between the magma at depth and on the surface.
		Compositional differences between lava and feeder dike must consequently be due to changes in the composition of the magma rising from the source region or to processes acting during the solidification of the rocks.

		A magma conduit that may have fed a vent on the surface (not all dikes reach the surface).
		In some volcanoes, the dikes radiate out from the central vent, reflecting homogeneous inflation of the volcano as it was filled with magma.
		Often the magma that slowly cools in the dikes forms more resistant rock (as compared to the broken up lavas or pyroclastic rocks of the flanks of the volcano), and dikes in old eroded volcanoes often form prominent ridges.
