Laxfordian orogeny
text:
The Laxfordian orogeny was an orogenic event between 1.9 and 1 billion years ago. It primarily affected the North Atlantic Craton, in particular a section that cleaved off during the Mesozoic as the Scottish Shield Fragment, part of the Lewisian complex within the Hebridean Terrane. The event produced deformation and high-grade metamorphism, migmatite formation and the emplacement granite and pegmatite in the Loch Maree Group basement rocks between 1.9 and 1.8 billion years ago. From 1.6 to 1.4
