The Glencoul Thrust fault zone

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Glencoul Thrust fault zone at Loch Glencoul near Kylesku in the Northern Highland of Scotland, Irish-Scottish Caledonides, viewed from the south-west. Precambrian gneiss has been pushed along the thrust fault and now lies above younger Cambrian quartzite (including the so-called pipe rock) and siltstone (Fucoid beds, outcrop hardly visible in the image due to viewing angle), which in turn are underlain by Precambrian gneiss, however not with tectonic but with unconformable stratigraphic contact.
Deutsch: Die Glencoul-Überschiebungszone am Loch Glencoul nahe Kylesku im Northern Highland von Schottland, Irisch-Schottische Kaledoniden, von Südwesten gesehen. Präkambrischer Gneis ist hier auf kambrische Quarzite (einschließlich dem sogenannten Pipe Rock, einer Art schottischem Pendant zum skandinavischen Skolithos-Quarzit) und Siltsteine („Fucoid Beds“, Ausbiss aufgrund des Blickwinkels kaum sichtbar) überschoben worden, die wiederum von Präkambrischem Gneis unterlagert werden, jedoch nicht mit tektonischem, sondern diskordantem stratigraphischem Kontakt.
