| Description: | A mountain formed by the thrusting and folding of Torridon Sandstone and Cambrian strata, beds highly folded and with occasional thrusts. In this area there is no basal thrust at the western margin of the Moine thrust belt. Instead, the 'foreland' rocks are folded into broad open folds with north-south axes, and cut by minor thrusts following the axial planes of the anticlines. On the left of the photo, the ridge of Creag Dhubh is made almost entirely of quartzite of the Lower Cambrian Eriboll Sandstone Formation. On the ridge joining Creag Dhubh to Sgurr Ban, the quartzite is repeated by a series of minor thrusts producing the screes which blanket these hills. |
