Syncline, Wrangle Point, near Bude, Cornwall

Syncline, Wrangle Point, near Bude, Cornwall
A broader view of the syncline shown in the previous photos. The Bude Formation here consists of alternating thin beds of turbidite sandstones (pale grey/brown) and fine-grained shaly siltstones/mudstones (darker grey).
