Garnetiferous beds from the aureole of the Leinster Granite east of Baltinglass, County Wicklow, Ireland (Declan De Paor's senior thesis mapping area, 1973). Manganese-rich metasediments. The prominent 'elasticas' or fan folds (folds with a negative inter-limb angle) are superimposed on isoclinal folds: so the brownish layer at top and bottom are the same, though that is not obvious from the image. 52°54'38.42"N 6°30'35.88"W A sample from the structural geology collection of Declan De Paor and Carol Simpson.
