| Summary: | Three episodes of deformation have been identified in the Moine metasediments of the Glen Dessary area, west of the Great Glen, but only the latest is thought to have deformed the syenite, imposing on it a strong, steeply plunging mineral lineation. The syenite is thought to occupy the core of a large, intensely curvi-linear synform. [R.A.H.] |
