"Geology student gets red card for her 'art' work!" Originally uploaded as No.5 of a jolly selection of Xmas Guesswhere UK puzzles. A view of the cliffs just west of Budleigh Salterton, showing the eponymous Pebble Beds (basal Triassic age), overlain by the Otter Sandstone. The sequence is then cut by four small normal (i.e. tensional) faults. These rocks were deposited in desert conditions by intermittent torrential floods, perhaps in a wadi type of environment.
