==Geology== The Old Man of Coniston is within the outcrop of the [[Ordovician]] [[Borrowdale Volcanic Group]]. A band of the [[dacite|dacitic]] [[lapilli]]-[[tuff]]s of the Lag Bank Formation crosses the summit. The southern slopes show the [[volcaniclastic]] [[sandstone]]s of the Seathwaite Fell Formation, while the [[rhyolite|rhyolitic]] tuffs of the Paddy End Member stretch from north of the summit toward the Coppermines.<ref name="BGS">[[British Geological Survey]]: 1:50,000 series maps, ''England & Wales Sheet 38'': BGS (1998)</ref>
