  • The Geology and Landscape of Moray
    THE GEOLOGY AND LANDSCAPE OF MORAY Cornelius Gillen SOLID GEOLOGY Introduction The geology of Moray consists of an ancient basement of metamorphic rocks, the Moine Schist and Dalradian Schist, intruded by a series of granitic igneous rocks belonging to the Caledonian episode of mountain building, then uni:;onformably overlain by Old Red Sandstone sediments of the Devonian Period. Younger sediments, Permo-Triassic and Jurassic, are found along the coast, with Cretaceous rocks found only as ice-carried boulders. The main structure-forming event to affect the area was the Caledonian Orogeny, around 500 million years ago, which caused folding and meta­ morphism of the older rocks. Molten granite magma was forced into these folded basement rocks and contributed to the elevation of the area as part of the Grampian mountains - a component of the Caledonian fold mountain chain which stretches from northern Norway through Shetland, then on via Scotland to Ireland and Wales. The last event in the Caledonian Orogeny was the formation of a fault system that includes the Great Glen Fault which runs parallel to the coastline of Cromarty and continues seaward into the Moray Firth. Moine rocks In Moray, the oldest rocks are referred to as the Moine Schists, which form the high ground in the south and west of the district. This group of crystalline rocks forming the basement is made of quartzite, schist and gneiss. Originally the rocks were laid down as sandy, pebbly or gritty sediments with thin muds and shales, probably in shallow water, carried down by rivers and deposited in a shallow sea.

  • Reduction Spheroids Preserve a Uranium Isotope Record of the Ancient Deep Continental Biosphere
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06974-9 OPEN Reduction spheroids preserve a uranium isotope record of the ancient deep continental biosphere Sean McMahon1,2, Ashleigh v.S. Hood1,3, John Parnell4 & Stephen Bowden4 Life on Earth extends to several kilometres below the land surface and seafloor. This deep biosphere is second only to plants in its total biomass, is metabolically active and diverse, and is likely to have played critical roles over geological time in the evolution of microbial 1234567890():,; diversity, diagenetic processes and biogeochemical cycles. However, these roles are obscured by a paucity of fossil and geochemical evidence. Here we apply the recently developed uranium-isotope proxy for biological uranium reduction to reduction spheroids in continental rocks (red beds). Although these common palaeo-redox features have previously been suggested to reflect deep bacterial activity, unequivocal evidence for biogenicity has been lacking. Our analyses reveal that the uranium present in reduction spheroids is isotopically heavy, which is most parsimoniously explained as a signal of ancient bacterial uranium reduction, revealing a compelling record of Earth’s deep biosphere. 1 Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, P.O.
