GARFISH Garfish: A long slim fish with pointed beak-like jaws, which bear numerous sharp teeth. The Garfish is carved into green Tilberthwaite Tuff from the Lake District. This fascinating rock is volcanic ash which settled as a sediment in a lake or sea, (this example shows brecciation implying that the sediment settled partially lithified and was then disturbed), and later the rock became metamorphosed into a slate.
