| Abstract/Notes | AbstractThe succession of the Torridonian rocks seen on the islands of Fladday, Raasay, and Scalpay is described. Three lithological fades indicative of three distinct sedimentary environments are recognized. Breccias and grits, believed to be sub-aerial in their lower part, are overlain, or pass laterally into, grey shales and sandstones of lacustrine or shallow water marine origin. These are succeeded by red fluviatile sandstones and shales, which, except near the base, are coarse grained and pebbly throughout much of the succession. Three cases of lateral facies variation are described and their significance discussed with regard to the Torridonian succession elsewhere in the Inner Hebrides and on the mainland. |
