Faulted Permian Dykes in the Highlands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
In the Arkaig district of Inverness-shire there is a well-defined suite of camptonite-monchiquite dykes, and several of them have been observed to be displaced laterally along sinistral faults. This provides direct evidence of transcurrent faulting in Permian or post-Permian times. Similar faulting may have occurred along the major northeasterly fracture lines of the Highlands.
