  • The Seabed Geomorphology and Geological Structure of the Firth of Lorn, Western Scotland, UK, As Revealed by Multibeam Echo-Sounder Survey John A
    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 105, 273–284, 2015 (for 2014) The seabed geomorphology and geological structure of the Firth of Lorn, western Scotland, UK, as revealed by multibeam echo-sounder survey John A. Howe1, Roger Anderton2, Riccardo Arosio1, Dayton Dove3, Tom Bradwell3, Philip Crump1, Rhys Cooper3 and Andre Cocuccio4 1 Scottish Association for Marine Science, Scottish Marine Institute, Oban PA37 1QA, UK. 2 Kilmichael House, Kilmichael Glassary, Lochgilphead PA31 8QA, UK. 3 British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK. 4 Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG, UK. ABSTRACT: This paper presents recently collected swath bathymetry from the Firth of Lorn. 553 km2 of data were collected during 2012–2013 as part of the INIS Hydro (Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey) programme. The area proves to consist of bedrock-dominated seabed, divided into narrow, stratigraphically- constrained and glacially-over-deepened basins. The bedrock is composed of late Proterozoic Dalradian metasediments overlain unconformably by Old Red Sandstone (ORS) sediments and lavas of ?Silurian-age. The central region of the Firth of Lorn is dominated by a vertical cliff, up to 150 m high and extending for approximately 24 km. This feature, here termed the Insh Fault, may have originated as a Dalradian extensional fault, been reactivated as an ORS feature and now forms a fault-line scarp with resistant ORS rocks on the downthrown side, flanking the more deeply eroded metasediments exposed in the basin. Tertiary intrusives are common, in particular, swarms of Paleocene dolerite dykes exposed on the sediment-free bedrock surfaces, and can be traced for many kilometres.
