The Green Beds of South Knapdale

Extract

In his description of the older rocks of Kintyre the writer has described in some detail the field characters of the Green Beds of that peninsula. Many difficulties were met with in the southern part of Kintyre where the rock-groups are repeated by folding. The chief of these difficulties were occasioned by the knowledge that schists identical in composition and appearance to the Green Beds occur at many different horizons below the Erins Quartzite.
