Extract

We welcome the views of A. D. Stewart (1990) on our interpretation of the unusual lithology and contact relations of the Stac Fada Member at Stoer. Stewart contends that our lower breccia body is a down-faulted outlier of the main breccia body and is therefore not a feeder. He thus rejects our notion that the Member is a peperitic extrusion: he also rejects the previously published view that the Member is a volcanic mudflow. Instead he suggests that the Stac Fada Member is one of several muddy volcanic horizons in the Stoer Group, all of which underwent post-depositional disturbance.
