Abstract:

A palaeomagnetic study of different lithologies exposed along the Moine Thrust Zone from Skye to Durness, Scotland, has identified three chemical remanent magnetizations (CRMs), a potential fourth CRM, and one possible primary component that all reside in hematite. Local and regional fold tests suggest that the CRMs are post-folding and post-thrusting. A contact test in the Torridon Group sandstone indicates that a Permian CRM is localized in and near the fault zone. The Perm...
