| Caption: | Refolded fold, Sgor Iutharn, Invernessshire. |
| Description: | Refolded fold in thin to medium-bedded, pink weathering quartzose and feldspathic psammite at the lower part of the north-east ridge of Sgor Iutharn. Looking south-south-west down fold plunge (8/203 degrees). The rocks are Dalradian in age. A tight F2 fold refolded by F3 fold at the south-east margin of the Kinlochlaggan Steep Belt, a 4 km. wide zone in which all the fold limbs and axes are vertical forming a complex of upward facing isoclinal folds. The psammite beds lie within a mixed semipelite and psammite sequence that itself forms the central part of a syncline (F2). The Grampian Highlands are mostly made up of metamorphic and igneous rocks, part of the root zone of the Caledonian mountain belt which developed in late Precambrian to early Proterozoic times. The rocks have undergone several periods of deformation numbered D1, D2 etc. |
