Geological magazine : Vol. 98 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1961Summary: Abstract
Evidence is adduced to relate the published minimum absolute date of — 475 m.y., for the metamorphism of the Connemara Schists, to its correct position in the Lower Palaeozoic stratigraphy of Western Ireland. The metamorphism pre-dates the Didymograptus extensus zone of the Arenig in Connemara and South Mayo and an Upper Cambrian or Tremadocian age is considered likely.
