Recently found several pieces of this rock on the foreshore at Parton, Cumbria. The red strands look like fossil seaweed, and the background might be sandstone ? No idea what the rock actually is, but probably not that "local" as it is part of the sea defences. I'm sure I've seen the darker red "lumps" in another context, also on sandstone.

Something different about this lump of rock caught my eye.

Interpretation board explaining the geological nature of Lulworth Cove, and hence why the cove has developed.

Found on the south beach at Whitehaven. A small amount of coal, in a very thin seam between layers of sandstone. Could be described as "sea coal" but also as an interesting example of geology.
