Abstract
THE geological relationships between the Pre-Cambrian and Caledonian folding and faulting systems of Scotland and Ireland to a large extent remain unresolved because of the unknown geology beneath the North Channel. A small but detailed (0.25–0.5 mile line spacing) total field magnetic survey off the coast of Donegal shows the presence of two faults which may well be of importance in the evaluation of these relationships. A simplified map of the magnetic results is shown in Fig. 1.
