“…However, there is a unifying characteristic between these areas which suggests that this latter interpretation may not be the case. The evidence principally concerns the steeply inclined SI cleavage which, in a zone up to 50 km wide on either side of the supposed suture line, transects clockwise of the Fl fold axial surfaces (Soper & Hutton, 1984;Murphy, 1985;Cameron, 1981;Sanderson et al 1980). Consistent structural patterns are presumably caused by similar processes which, in this instance, are related to a regional sinistral transpression (Soper & Hutton, 1985) along discrete Caledonian faults.…”
