In:
Geological magazine : Vol. 100 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1963Summary: Abstract
A detailed analysis is presented of a small complex bent-fold structure that occurs in the angle of the Donegal Granite outcrop. It is the most northerly expression of the major strike swing in South-West Donegal and may be of considerable importance to the interpretation of that phenomenon. Five different lineation types are related to events leading to the severe bending of a curved tight syncline in massive quartzite. The bending occurs with surprisingly little disruption of the quartzite and must have occured under plastic conditions possibly associated with granite intrusion.
