  1. A #FridayFold from the west coast of the #IsleofLewis.

    The dark mafic #OuterHebrides dykes were intruded into the #Lewisian gneiss. The original cross cutting relationship has been brought into near concordance during subsequent #Laxfordian deformation which also generated these folds.

  2. Tiger stipe camouflage isn't really effective on the west coast of the #IsleofLewis👀
    Compositional (rhythmic?) banding is preserved locally within an occurrence of #Lewisian "Older Basic Suite" meta-basics/ultrabasics.

  8. Another hard day in the office😎 looking for a #FridayFold

    The #Lewisian gneisses on the beach at Port Nis (Port of Ness) have been folded during the #Laxfordian.
