The Geology around Loch Torridon

Part of The Shear Zone Channel. A visit to the Torridon district of NW Scotland, using a map, published in 1896 along with 1980s mapping by John Wheeler, to explore crustal evolution and Precambrian geology - from the Lewisian basement and its Proterozoic sedimentary cover of Torridon Group sandstones.

    Great fun. Absorbing.

    Can I say that those gneiss units should be considered as the basement block with NW trending structural elements before the collision along the thrusting shear zones of that caledonian orogen?

    Yes - absolutely. Slices of these ancient gneisses are carried up in the thrust belt. See the Glencoul and Arnaboll videos.

    You use many words that are not part of normal everyday language for the vast majority of people. Therefore what you explain means very little to most people. A more simple explanation telling the story of this regions construction over time, would I’m sure, create more followers for you. Just a suggestion.

    The earth is 5 billion years old but climate zealots try to tell me it's getting warmer?
