North Cornwall - Geology
Ripple Marks (S6)
Ripple Marks are exposed on one of beds at this location.
Ripples are one of the most commonly preserved sedimentary structures,
as it takes only a small storm or other event to cover and preserve them.
Ripple Marks were formed by the actions of ancient winds, streams, waves or currents , millions of years ago.
The sediments were gradually transformed into rock by natural processes - of pressure exerted by the weight
of overlying sediments and natural cementation.
