Geology of the northern, central and south-eastern Blue Mountains, Jamaica, with a provisional compilation map of the entire inlier

Abstract

An interpretation of successive geological events is proposed, based on lithological and palaeontological evidence encountered in the northern, central and south-eastern Blue Mountains, Jamaica. A provisional geological map of the entire inlier is given. An interpretation of a number of structural features includes some remarks regarding a plate tectonic model of the northern Caribbean plate margin.
