Stackpole Quay, Pembrokeshire

Another view of the rocks - Carboniferous Limestone - at Stackpole Quay, Pembrokeshire.

In the left foreground, the crest of the Stackpole Quay anticline is just visible. In the left background, the northerly dip of the rocks does not match with the foreground. This is because the Stackpole Fault runs across the photo from L to R with different structures visible on either side. On the far side of the fault, the axis of the Stackpole Quay anticline is offset by 100 metres to the right (south).
