Abstract

Volcano-sedimentary successions, of the Lower and Upper Hovin and Horg Groups (Ordovician to ?Lower Silurian), unconformably overlie a variable substrate which includes fragmented oceanic crust and ensimatic immature arc assemblages initially deformed and metamorphosed in earliest Ordovician times. A compromise model involving an elongate microcontinental plate within the Iapetus is invoked. -from Authors
