Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geology of the Glenelg, Lochalsh and south-eastern parts of Skye, examining the area's geological structure, metamorphic rocks and igneous intrusions. The author presents a detailed account of the region's history, from the Lewisian Gneiss formed from the area's oldest rocks, through the injection and alteration from a variety of igneous rocks, to the Tertiary igneous intrusions and post-Cambrian thrusts and folds. Significant topics include the discovery of limestone beds, bands of garnetiferous biotite-kyanite-gneiss and the complex interaction between sedimentary and igneous rocks, with an in-depth analysis of the distinctive rock types and structures found in the area. This book will appeal to geologists, students and anyone interested in the geological history of this fascinating region.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the geological history of the Silurian rocks found in Scotland, focusing on the Southern Uplands region. The study of these ancient rock formations has been instrumental in shaping our understanding of the Earth's history, particularly during the period known as the Silurian, around 444 to 419 million years ago. Through detailed analysis of fossils, rock formations, and geological structures, the author provides a comprehensive account of the different types of Silurian rocks found in the region, their origins, and the environments in which they were formed. The book explores how this ancient landscape has been shaped over time by geological processes, including folding, faulting, and erosion. It also examines the impact of volcanic activity on the region's geology. This book offers a valuable resource for geologists and those interested in the geological history of Scotland. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
