...R. Thompson; T. Wain-Hobson Abstract Palaeomagnetic, chemical and pollen analyses have been carried out on cores 6 m long from the SW basin of Loch Shiel, Sootland. A marine regression in one core is dated at 4200 C l4 years BP. Palaeomagnetic declination and inclination variations in the limnic...

It is formed by a series of extensive Lewisian...

... Abstract D r. A. J. Barber remarked on the similarity between the Lewisianoid rocks described in the paper and Lewisian rocks of eastern Glenelg and north-east of Loch Duich. Eclogite, common in these areas, appeared to be absent from the Lewisianoid masses. A careful search of hornblendic rocks...
