Abstract

A great thickness (approx 1 km) of Lower Lias sediments occurs in the southern part of the North Minch basin, E of Lewis, Scotland. The Minch fault forms the western margin of the Permian-Tertiary rocks and is parallel to the Outer Isle thrust. The outcrop E of the fault in the N North Minch is no older than Middle Jurassic and may even include Cretaceous sediments. -R.A.H.
