The geological history of the terrane is well recognised, however details of its internal structure remain unknown. The Eocene (Faithfull et al. 2012, JGS) Loch Roag monchiquite (Lewis Island) sampled deep-seated lithologies, providing insight on evolution and geological structure of the deeper lithosphere of the Hebridean terrane. The monchiquite comprises abundant xenoliths of ultramafic, mafic and felsic rocks. The peridotitic xenoliths represent pieces of Archean mantle underlying marginal parts of the North Atlantic Craton, whereas the origin of non-peridotitic lithologies is uncertain. The studied suite of samples comprises two groups: 1) “xenoliths” of diorites (plagioclase, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, apatite, opaques) and biotite clinopyroxenites (+apatite), 2) “megacrysts” of clinopyroxene and K-feldspar, both with inclusions of clinopyroxene, biotite and apatite.
