Abstract
Abstract:AbstractThe Connemara Antiform has iconic status in the geology of western Ireland. With its east-to-west trend and eastward plunge and the disposition of Dalradian stratigraphy about its axis, it forms the dominant structure in the present-day landscape and is a focal feature of geological maps of the area. Its genesis has long been ascribed to D4, the last main major deformation phase of the Ordovician Grampian Orogeny that affected the Dalradian rocks of Connemara. But does the structure have such a straightforward and simple origin? This paper investigates the possible role of middle–late Silurian deformation in the origin of the Connemara Antiform.
