Geological magazine : Vol. 92 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1955Summary: Abstract
In the Clashnessie district the original or Scourian complex is represented chiefly by hornblendic gneisses and shows simultaneous close folding on 55°–235° (A 1) and 155° (A 2) axes. The general disposition of the formations is largely related to open folding on the A 1 axis.
The effects of later movements, post-dating the basic dykes, are comparatively slight, but are shown by the sporadic development of a schistosity and a lineation, which plunges to the south-east, together with occasional sharp folds at about 207° (A 3) and 114° (A 4).
