Abstract
Geological information about the geometric shape of a rock body is generally restricted to shallow depths. Concerning the Ballachulish pluton, it is the purpose of the present chapter to obtain information on the geological structure at larger depths by using geophysical methods. The following items will be investigated:
-
1.
Location of metamorphic contacts and of boundaries between different igneous rocks
-
2.
Estimation of their dip angles
-
3.
Mean depth of the Ballachulish pluton
-
4.
The lateral extension of the pluton under the surrounding metamorphic rocks.
