Abstract:

AbstractThe Moine thrust zone of southern Assynt forms part of the northwest margin of the Caledonide belt and has aroused controversy concerning amounts and timing of thrust displacement and sequence of thrust development. Recent mapping shows it to have been a foreland propagating thrust sequence; the uppermost ductile Moine thrust formed first, followed by sequences of imbricates, a major thrust (the Ben More thrust) and then several lower duplex zones. This sequence is clear from new observations that many of the earlier thrusts were folded and/or breached during the development of the und

Abstract:

AbstractOffshore seismic reflection profiles crossing the Caledonian orogenic front (locally, ?Moine thrust) between Shetland and the Scottish Highlands show a singular coherent east-dipping reflection underlain by a highly reflective dipping zone in the middle crust extending down to the Moho discontinuity. This reflector pattern varies spatially with respect to the eastern edge of the Precambrian Lewisian foreland as well as to previously mapped locations of the Moine thrust. Southwest of Shetland, the reflector pattern coincides with the offshore projection of the Moine thrust, but further

Abstract:

AbstractWithin internal regions of orogenic belts, systems of ductile thrusts and folds may form which are geometrically and kinematically analogous to those observed in foreland thrust belts. The Moine Nappe of Sutherland, northwestern Scotland, developed during WNW-directed Caledonian displacements under amphibolite facies conditions. Broad zones of mylonite associated with the ductile Ben Hope and Moine thrusts both contain numerous, small-scale folds which can be attributed to transient flow perturbations. It is possible to isolate and differentiate generations of such folds basedon their

Abstract:

AbstractPalaeomagnetic studies from the southern part of the Moine Thrust Zone (MTZ) indicate a complex pattern of four major secondary remanence components (A–D). Their relative ages appear to vary from mid-Ordovician to Recent/Tertiary. The oldest remanence (A) is tentatively interpreted as associated with the formation of the Lochalsh Syncline (D1) and/or D2. However, the consistency between component A and the regional southeast-plunging lineation, makes it uncertain to what extent component A reflects the structural grain rather than a true palaeofield record. Component B appears to be as

Abstract:

AbstractThe Assynt Culmination of the Moine Thrust Belt, in the northwest Scottish Highlands, contains a variety of Caledonian alkaline and calc-alkaline intrusions that are mostly of Silurian age. These include a significant but little-studied suite of dykes and sills, the Northwest Highlands Minor Intrusion Suite. We describe the structural relationships of these minor intrusions and suggest a classification into seven swarms. The majority of the minor intrusions can be shown to pre-date movement in the Moine Thrust Belt, but some appear to have been intruded during the period of thrusting.

Abstract:

AbstractA model is proposed whereby the Caledonian metamorphic basement-cover complex of northwest Scotland (the Moine) is considered as a linked thrust system. This system lies between the Moine thrust at its base and the Naver–Sgurr Beag slide at its top. Ductile fold and thrust zones, which developed at mid crustal levels at metamorphic grades from greenschist to amphibolite facies, are interpreted as decoupling from a detachment presently situated at relatively shallow depths. This model is illustrated by two preliminary balanced cross-sections. These imply shortening across the northwest

Abstract Infrared absorption measurements of molecular water in sheared Cambrian quartzites in the footwall to the Moine thrust reveal a decrease in water content from 4080 to 1570 ppm with increasing recrystallization traced toward the overlying thrust at the Stack of Glencoul in northwest Scotland. These results are contrary to the expected correlation between shear strain and water content for quartz deformed by dislocation creep and water-weakening processes.

AbstractSedimentary basins developed along the European margin during the earliest, Permian, stage of proto-Atlantic rifting, during a phase of high heat flow. The proximity of some basins to Caledonian thrusts has implied that rifts locally utilized the basement fabric. New mineralogical and palaeomagnetic data show that thrust planes in the Moine Thrust Zone channelled a pulse of hot fluid in Permian time. The fluids precipitated kaolin in fractures in the thrust zone, and with decreasing intensity away from the zone. The high-temperature polytype dickite is largely confined to major thrust

However, a reassessment of the field relationships demonstrates that intrusion was syn-tectonic with respect to the later stages of ductile Caledonian deformation affecting the Moine rocks.
