The boyndie syncline, a D1 structure in the Dalradian of Scotland

Abstract: The structure of the Dalradian rocks of the Banffshire coast has been re‐examined. It is shown that D1 structures face upwards along the entire section and the major Boyndie Syncline (Sutton and Watson 1956) must also be of D1, age and not D3 as proposed by Johnson (1962). D2 structures are developed in the west, most strongly in the Portsoy Group and Cowhythe Gneiss where they may be related to the Portsoy Thrust (Elles 1931). East of the Cowhythe Gneiss D2 structures are not developed but D3 structures are o… Show more

“…The overall structural and metamorphic sequences of this section are quite well understood due to detailed studies of the minor structures (Johnson, 1962;Loudon, 1963;Fettes, 1971;Treagus and Roberts, 1981). Early (F1) folds and related cleavages face consistently upwards and the style of the folds varies according to structural level, being generally upright and open to close at the highest levels in the centre of the Turriff Syncline and generally recumbent and tight on the limbs.…”

“…Although some authors have also suggested that parts of the area are allochthonous (Sturt et al, 1977;Ramsay and Sturt, 1979), most current interpretations have attempted to correlate the stratigraphical succession in broad terms (i.e. at subgroup level) with Argyll and Southern Highland group successions farther to the south-west (Harris and Pitcher, 1975;Ashworth, 1975;Harte, 1979;Treagus and Roberts, 1981;Ashcroft et al, 1984;Fettes et al, 1991;Harris et al, 1994;Stephenson and Gould, 1995).…”
