Abstract. The data obtained from an independent study of acritarchs, chitinozoans and miospores enables the determination of maximum age ranges of samples taken from three wells. These are shown in Fig. 8.ACRITARCHSAt present, samples have been examined from six wells – A1-46, Core 2; E1-81, Cores 3, 4; F1-46, Core 3; D-31, Core 1; A1-81, Core 3 and C1-

U-Pn geochronology of deformed metagranites in central Sutherland, Scotland: evidence for widespread late Silurian metamorphism and ductile deformation of the Moine Supergroup during the Caledonian orogeny [PDF]
Within the Caledonides of central Sutherland, Scotland, the Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Moine Supergroup record NW-directed D2 ductile thrusting and nappe assembly, accompanied by widespread tight-to-isoclinal folding and amphibolite ...
