Basalt columns and columnar joints converge upwards in a Tertiary volcanic vent with an age about 14.07±0.37 Ma (K-Ar age, whole rock), north of Jijiazhuang village in the Chnagle area, Shandong province, China. Attitude of these converged BCCJ are possible related to upward conflux of basalt magma. PhotoID159
