Sep 23, 2016 (A Wilson) - The Loch Lomond Deformation Zone (LLDZ) is defined by an arcuate zone of highly strained rocks (800 to 1600 m wide) and varies in trend from NE through E to SE. The western part is defined by several 1-30 m wide NE-trending ductile shear zones. Within these zones, mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks are deformed to chlorite or amphibole schist. Along the southern shore of Loch Lomond, the LLDZ is defined by narrow, east-trending ductile shear zones in amphibolitic metavolcanics and a wide zone of sericite-quartz-pyrite schist south of Loch Lomond. This large zone of ductile shear is greater than 30 m in width and can be traced as far eastward as the Meath Lake Fault.
| Rock Type | Rank | Composition | Texture | Relationship | Mafic lava flow-unsubdivided | 1 | Carbonatized | Sheared | Host |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intermediate lava flow-unsubdivided | 2 | Andesite | Sheared | Host |
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The rocks are described as consisting of carbonated, silicified metasedimentary rocks that are heavily pyritized. Some have interpreted the metasedimentary rocks to be sheared iron formation.
