Ordovician? Borrowdale volcanic group.
The vesicles are gas bubbles which came out of solution in the lava when pressure reduced as it erupted from the volcano (like bubbles in lemonade).

Ordovician? Borrowdale volcanic group.
As the volcano erupted the lava fizzed at its mouth becoming more fluid, and the hot gassy 'pyroclastic flow' swept down from the vent. Molten lumps of lava in the ash were stretched out and flattened as the flow settled. The lighter lumps might be feldspar?

Ordovician; Borrowdale volcanic group.
The vesicles are gas bubbles which came out of solution in the lava when pressure reduced as it erupted from the volcano. Later material permeated through the rock and desposited minerals in the holes, forming 'amygdales'.
