Abstract/NotesAbstractConjugate folds are recorded in Moine rocks some 15 miles east of the Moine thrust zone and their association with lamproschists and regional joint systems is described. This, and other evidence, is used to establish a sequence of late Orogenic events for the interior of the Moine nappe. A correlation with events in the thrust zone is suggested. It is concluded that the Moine thrust movements took place in Lower Old Red Sandstone times and that this coincided with a period of rapid isostatic uplift of the axial region of the Caledonian orogen.
