Geological structure of the Malin Sea

MAXWELL R. DOBSON & DANIEL EVANS

Geophysical surveys in the Malin Sea have revealed the presence of two asymmetric fault bounded basins, here termed the Loch Indaal basin and the Rathlin trough. They extend in a NE–SW direction between Northern Ireland and Western Scotland, and are thought to be largely Permo-Triassic in age. Four major fault belts have also been identified, together with a large number of igneous bodies, the latter having been confirmed by dredge sampling. In addition the offshore extents of the Fanad and Thorr Plutons have been delineated.
