摘要

西北高地的亚述区是名副其实的地质特征宝库，在地质学家中最著名的是莫因冲断层。也许不太为人所知的是，亚述人还拥有苏格兰最广泛的洞穴系统，发育于坎布罗-奥陶纪的德内斯石灰岩中。当然，这两个特征是有联系的：喀里多尼亚的逆冲和褶皱导致石灰岩地层增厚和破裂，从而允许/促进大型洞穴系统的发展。

Book reviewCaves of Assynt (3rd edition), edited by TJ Lawson & PNF Dowswell. Grampian Speleological Group, Edinburgh, 2022. £20.00, 211 pp., ISBN 978-1-739735-0-3

The Assynt District in the Northwest Highlands is a veritable treasure trove of geological features, the most famous – amongst geologists – being the Moine Thrust. Perhaps less well known is that Assynt also hosts the most extensive cave systems in Scotland, developed in the Cambro-Ordovician Durness limestone. These two features are, of course, linked: Caledonian thrusting and folding resulted in thickening and fracturing of the limestone strata, allowing/enhancing the development of large cave systems.

期刊介绍： Although published only since 1965, the Scottish Journal of Geology has a long pedigree. It is the joint publication of the Geological Society of Glasgow and the Edinburgh Geological Society, which prior to 1965 published separate Transactions: from 1860 in the case of Glasgow and 1863 for Edinburgh. Traditionally, the Journal has acted as the focus for papers on all aspects of Scottish geology and its contiguous areas, including the surrounding seas. The publication policy has always been outward looking, with the Editors encouraging review papers and papers on broader aspects of the Earth sciences that cannot be discussed solely in terms of Scottish geology. The diverse geology of Scotland continues to provide an important natural laboratory for the study of earth sciences; many seminal studies in geology have been carried out on Scottish rocks, and over the years the results of much of this work had been published in the Journal and its predecessors. The Journal fully deserves its high reputation worldwide and intends to maintain its status in the front rank of publications in the Earth sciences.
