Caledonides in Scandinavia compared with East Greenland

| Summary: | a modification is proposed of the map by Bott and Watts, based upon a study of the 500 m and 1000 m depth contour lines. A possible left-lateral displacement of the Vöring plateau along a proposed continuation of the Great Glen Fault is suggested. Assuming the relative positions of the two continents as outlined, the history of deposition in late Precambrian to Devonian times and events during the Caledonian orogeny in Scandinavia are reviewed and compared with East Greenland. The need for more information about the Scandinavian Caledonides is emphasized. |
