| Description: | North side of Loch Glencoul, 9.2 km. north of Inchnadamph, Sutherland. The Glencoul Thrust, one of several major thrusts in the Moine Thrust Zone. Part of a panorama with C02009 and C02010. The description is for the full panorama. The Glencoul Thrust is very distinct near the middle of the picture where its apparent height above the loch is ? in. In this locality the rock above the 'thrust' is Lewisian gneiss and that below is Fucoid Beds (shale) resting on Cambrian Quartzite. To the west the beds and the 'thrust' both rise gently and the Lewisian gneiss is seen again in natural order below the quartzite. To the east the thrust also rises and becomes underlain by a complicated band of 'schuppen' composed of steep wedges of Fucoid Beds, Serpulite Grit, and Durness Limestone, separated by minor thrusts. |
