| Abstract
|
:
|
"The Torridonian sandstones form one of the principal elements of British stratigraphy. They form the majestic mountains of NW Scotland and also extend westwards under the Minch basin. The sediments were deposited in a Proterozoic rift nearly contemporaneous with the Keweenawan Supergroup of North America." "This book contains the first complete field description of the rocks and the sedimentary environments in which they formed, together with a comprehensive examination of their tectonic and palaeoclimatic significance, geochemistry, palaeomagnetism and diagenesis. It includes the result of over forty years' work by the author, most of it previously unpublished."--Jacket.
