Sedimentation and tectonics in the Scottish Dalradian: Reply

Abstract

SIRS—Anderton's (1985) review of Dalradian sedimentation and tectonics must represent a milestone in the history of Dalradian research, in that, for the first time the ourcrop pattern of Dalradian units and their sedimentological features have been fitted into a regional model which, in my opinion, forms a basis for speculation. Since Anderton draws from my work at Loch Creran (Litherland 1980) as one of the key areas where Dalradian units can be mapped across the strike for considerable distances, I raise the following points with respect to his reinterpretation of that area and the Dalradian as a whole.
