Abstract

In Western Harris most of the Scourie dykes occur as disrupted, usually lenticular, fragments which are individually concordant with the banding of their host gneisses. The distribution of these fragments is irregular, but prominent zones occur in which they are abundant. These zones trend across the strike of the banding of the gneisses and appear to represent a number of groups of relatively large, closely spaced sub-parallel intrusions which originally crossed the banding obliquely. The outcrop-pattern of the dyke fragments is described and discussed in relation to major Laxfordian fold structures which the zones of fragments clearly reflect.
