Summary

Curved and other variably oriented minor F1 folds with a common axial–planar cleavage are described from the Dalradian of the South-West Scottish Highlands. An explanation for the varying orientations is offered in terms of progressive deformation following the arguments of Flinn (1962) and Ramsay (1967).
