Zig-Zag folds at Millook Haven

Zig-Zag folds at Millook Haven
These spectacular folds are at Millook Haven, near Bude, North Cornwall. The rocks are part of the Upper Carboniferous age Crackington Formation, thinly interbedded sandstones and shales, subsequently deformed into zig-zag folds with near horizontal fold axes as a result of the Variscan orogeny (mountan-building) at the end of the Carboniferous.
