The basalt intrusions at Praia do Ouro are easily accessible and provide an excellent opportunity to observe multiple contemporaneous igneous intrusions associated with the Sesimbra diapiric uplift. They clearly illustrate the contrast between sedimentary and igneous rocks and preserve evidence of fluid percolation and spheroidal weathering. Together, these features provide a rare example of magmatic activity in the region, contrasting with the coastal and marine sedimentary environments that dominate the surrounding geology.
