Fault: the Rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland
1 Mid-Devonian sinistral transpressional movements on the Great Glen 2 Fault: the rise of the Rosemarkie Inlier and the Acadian Event in 3 Scotland. 4 5 J.R. Mendum1 & S.R. Noble2 6 1British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA 7 2NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham 8 Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG 9 e-mail: [email protected] 10 11 Abstract 12 The Rosemarkie Inlier is a small fault-bounded lens of interleaved Moine psammites and 13 possible Lewisianoid orthogneisses with distinctive leucogranite veins and pods that lies 14 adjacent to the Great Glen Fault (GGF). The basement rocks and most of the 15 leucogranites are strongly deformed and tightly folded with foliations generally steeply 16 dipping and a locally well-developed NE-plunging rodding lineation. Mid-Devonian 17 sandstone and conglomerate unconformably overlie the inlier on its western side. 18 Monazite from a deformed leucogranite vein gave a mean ID-TIMS 207Pb/235U age of 19 397.6 ± 2.2 Ma and acicular zircons gave a compatible concordant ID-TIMS U-Pb age of 20 400.8 ± 2.6 Ma, dating emplacement as mid-Devonian. Xenocrystic zircons from the 21 leucogranites and complex zoned zircons from two adjacent tonalitic gneisses gave LA- 22 MC-ICP-MS concordant ages between 2720 and 2930 Ma confirming their Archaean 23 Lewisianoid origin. Leucogranite emplacement is interpreted to mark the onset of 24 Acadian transpression and sinistral strike-slip movement on the GGF that resulted in 25 multi-phase deformation and oblique exhumation of the Rosemarkie Inlier.

4 the Black Isle: Cromarty, Rosemarkie & Fortrose
4 The Black Isle: Cromarty, Rosemarkie & Fortrose This peninsula is almost surrounded by the deep water Cromarty Firth in the north and Moray Firth in the south with Ben Wyvis, rising to over 1000 metres, providing a backdrop to the north. Until the building of the new Kessock and Cromarty road bridges in the early 1980s, the Black Isle suffered from poor land links. Historically the firths were a water highway linking the small settlements and parish churches sited close to the shore. Today the small towns and villages of the Black Isle are easy to reach; take some time to discover their links with Davidson history. Historically the Cromarty Firth has been a trading and fishing port, a naval base and an oil rig construction yard; today the harbour provides safe anchorage for stacked oil rigs, as well as a port of call for many visiting cruise ships. The scale of some of these vessels dwarf the small scale houses in places such as Cromarty, but they also provide a reminder link with the past when the sea road was the way out for many from this part of the Scotland when they emigrated. The wildlife to be seen is another draw. Bottlenose dolphins, Visiting Cruise Ship porpoises, and seals can be observed at sea. The Red Kite has been reintroduced and flourishes, while Ospreys sometimes visit. Udale Bay and Nigg are both have important bird reserves. Cromarty Cromarty, a small town located at the eastern end of the peninsula; 700 years old, and for centuries dependant on the sea road.
