Multicomponent magnetizations in the Foyers Old Red Sandstone (northern Scotland) and their bearing on lateral displacements along the Great Glen Fault

Abstract: The Foyers Sandstone, a constituent of the Old Red Sandstone of northern Scotland, located on the eastern flank of the Great Glen Fault, has yielded a multicomponent palaeomagnetic structure. The principal magnetization (called the B component), with in situ mean direction D, I = 185", +8"; ag5 = 2.7", post-dates the local 'mid'-Devonian (Acadian) tectonic event, but this direction corresponds well with characteristic directions displayed by Devonian and Lower Carboniferous rocks of Scotland. The most signific… Show more

“…It is irrelevant whether the straight segment started at 100 "C and ended at 650 "C for the horizontal component and started at 300 "C and ended at 650°C for the vertical component as long as there is a common temperature range where both projections show straight line segments. This elementary aspect is indeed what can be demonstrated in our figs 4(d) and (e) and 5(a) and (b)(Storetvedt et al 1990). …”

“…The most common magnetization found in rocks of the British and Irish Caledonides is the so-called B magnetization, according to terminology adopted for the assumed oldest component in Scottish Old Red Sandstone rocks (e.g. Storetvedt & Carmichael 1979;Storetvedt et a/. 1990).…”

“…The Cheviot Complex has suffered chemical and mineralogical modifications, and all of the rock units have apparently undergone extensive low-temperature oxidation. Other problems with the 'revised Devonian axis' have been discussed elsewhere (Storetvedt et al 1990;Rother & Storetvedt 1991;Storetvedt, Deutsch & Murthy 1991). Therefore, there are reasons to believe that the alleged 'true' Devonian magnetization is an artefact linked to remagnetization processes, and the corresponding data are consequently discounted from the present discussion.…”

“…They are assessed through consideration of the classical palaeomagnetic stability tests, together with data-analytical techniques used in the derivation of the palaeopoles. We also outline demonstrable errors in the analysis of palaeomagnetic data presented by Storetvedt et al (1990a).…”
