Popis: A composite tectonic profile, from Clew Bay to central Murrisk is constructed and the sequence of structural events from the Upper Cambrian to post-Wenlock—pre-Visean (C2 S2) times is outlined. Four main structural episodes affected the Dalradian rocks in pre-Arenig times. ‘Taconic’ thrusting and concentric folding were important, and finally a complex sequence of structures were variably imprinted on the Dalradian, Ordovician and Silurian rocks during post-Wenlock, pre Visean (C2 S2) times.
