Sill (geology) In geology, a sill is a flat sheet-like intrusion. As molten magma, it pushed between older layers of rock. The older rock may be sedimentary rock, beds of volcanic lava or tuff, or metamorphic rock. The sill does not cut across preexisting rocks, unlike dykes.
Commonly, dikes are oriented in line with local patterns of jointing. What defines a dike is that it cuts vertically across the bedding planes of the rock it intrudes. When an intrusion cuts horizontally along the bedding planes, it is called a sill. In a simple set of flat-lying rock beds, dikes are vertical and sills are horizontal.
