The Bala Lineament is a major NE-SW-striking fault zone that crosses the Lower Palaeozoic Welsh Basin. The southwest segment of it, the Tal-y-llyn Fault, mostly lies within a tract of Ordovician mudstones with few marker bands. Consequently, post-Caledonian (early Devonian) displacements are poorly understood. However, there is a close link between the distribution of kink bands and the fault zone. The kink bands provide information about the contemporary stress conditions and, in combination with slickensided fractures, give qualitative information about the various fault displacements. Matching of major folds across the fault suggests approximately 3–4 km of dextral strike-slip, probably of Lower Carboniferous age. A younger episode of normal faulting, perhaps related to Mesozoic extension, was accompanied by kink bands with more brittle characteristics.

We have conducted a seismic reflection test over a short profile on the granite of the Skye Tertiary central intrusive complex. From previous gravity modelling work it had been inferred that the granite is approximately 1.5 km thick and overlies basic rocks. The seismic data indicate that the granite is at least 2 km thick at the test location. Reflection events of alternating polarity between depths of 2.1 and 2.4 km suggest that basic and acidic sheets are interlayered at the base of the granitic mass.
