| Description: | Creag Mannrichean, Bealach Mor, etc. Achnashellach, Ross & Cromarty. Torridonian sandstone thrust over Cambrian quartzite (nearer views of part B00125). The main part of Fuar Tholl (left and centre) is made of Torridonian sandstone (Applecross Formation) dipping gently to the right at the top of the left-hand crag, but dipping to the left below the snow patch and on the right-hand crag. To the right of the right-hand crag, the white scree marks an outcrop of Cambrian quartzite (Eriboll Formation) occurs on the left side of the mountain, just out of view. On this side of the mountain the upper contact of the quartzite is a thrust, which has moved westwards along the axial plane of a fold which is preserved on the southern side of the mountain. |
